Is Time An Illusion?

There seem to be two major theories currently. The theory that the vast majority of people have naturally come to accept because it's the most sensible from a simplified and personal perspective is that time is constantly flowing in all places continuously ― beginning to end. The less known and accepted theory is that every point in time exists simultaneously. To understand this, one can compare the universe to a DVD, Blu-Ray, etc. Any and all points within the movie exist on that disc simultaneously. It's simply a matter or rewinding or fast-forwarding to reach that point, and yet it moves in a coherent path on its own. What is your view on the subject? [spoiler]I'm writing a paper on this for my English Composition course in university. Could anyone provide links to good articles representing both sides of this debate?[/spoiler][spoiler]inb4[b]few[/b]replies[b]because[/b]stupid[b]people[/b] inb4[b]religion[/b]versus[b]atheism[/b] inb4[b]op[/b]is[b]imposter[/b] inb4[b]op[/b]cant[b]inb4[/b][/spoiler]

  • I think time exists like your DVD analogy. We just view it from a forward progressing perspective because we are only 3 dimensional beings, and time is the 4th dimension.
