Specious Present Theory

Specious Present Theory suggests that our experience of time is not just a series of separate moments but rather a continuous "present" where we perceive moments as overlapping. Instead of living in single, discrete instants, we simultaneously experience a span of time, enabling us to feel that the past is connected to our present. This theory challenges the idea of time as merely a linear sequence of individual points, proposing instead that our consciousness allows us to experience a richer, more immediate reality that blends memories and current experiences.
