Why Time May Be an Illusion: Exploring the Debate on Times Reality

Name Institutional affiliations Date The reality of time is defined by earlier and later, while time unreality is defined by the distinctions of the past, present, and future, which are essential in defining time. The distinction of the first class "earlier and later" is permanent while the second class "past present and future are not." This essay aims at doing the following. defining and discussing the unreality of time as argued by the author the solution to the author's arguments (why time is or is not real) explanation of my proposed solution on time objection to my argument and response to the objection According to the author, events tend to appear in two different ways, namely the earlier and the later. The definitions of the earlier and the later could be defined, in a word, as just time. The earlier and the later turn of events could more be expounded in the essence of the past, the present, and the future. The explanation behind this scenario is that some events are bound to have happened in the future, while others are currently happening. Therefore, this implies that the events ought to take certain positions. Besides this, the author has differentiated these events as either B-series or A-series. The A-series are determined by the past, present, and future, while the B-series are determined by earlier and later circumstances. In this correlation, therefore, the author argues that time is unreal. A series of events can only confirm the unreality in the time. For instance, as long as there is a change in the events, then time automatically becomes unreal. On the same note, a fundamental change can only be felt only in the existence of the A-series.
