The Presentism Theory

Presentism is a philosophical view about time that says only the present moment truly exists. According to this view, past events have happened but no longer exist, and future events haven't occurred yet. Everything that exists is currently happening or exists right now, emphasizing the importance of the present. Past and future are considered mental constructs or ideas, not real entities. This perspective contrasts with views like eternalism, which see past, present, and future as equally real. Presentism highlights the fluid, fleeting nature of time, focusing solely on the here and now as the only reality.
