So yesterday, after I watched our mighty king's video on "Understanding Absolute Infinity 1" (),
in combination with the contemplation on time, a quite peculiar thought came to me.
Based on the famous quote by John Archibald Wheeler that "Time is what prevents everything from happening at once.",
I thought "Well, what if time actually is everything happening all at once?".
Since past and future are merely conceptual frameworks implemented for the linguistic practicality of human perception,
and the only "thing" that there really is occurring is the "present moment",
could it be that, since time is realtive, the sensation of time passing,
is merely linked to the sheer amount of differnt infinite possibilities for that particular moment?
I know all of this sounds a bit weird perhaps and I personally don't even take this idea too seriously, but I'd still be very interested in what your thoughts on this are, since the experience of time is so individual and relative for everybody.

@jse Thanks for the reply, mate. I actually already know that time is, on some level, an illsuion just as everything else is, therefore i was not referring to the illusory nature of time but much rather I was curious about the particular relativity of time and why exactly it is so relative to everybody on an individual basis - the felt experience of time, so to say.
