The Philosophy of Time

In this video, I explore some of the most popular philosophical perspectives on Time. This includes Eternalism vs Presentism and Endurantism vs Perdurantism, as well as the fascinating theory of relativity.
This video should feed your curiosity on the mysteries surrounding Time.

I hope you like it!

With B theory of time couldn't our sense of moving forward through time simply be an illusion. We could be trapped in a present moment of time feeling as though we've experienced the past and are continuing on into the future when in reality we are just frozen in this present block of time with only memories of the past having never been there. Every moment of our lives could be made up of these numerous blocks, and we are only the "self" in this moment, in the other moments the self is someone else, trapped in time just like we are.

Hi Noviria, this is the first video I see of you .. and I must say .. I am very excited about your platform and when the first course launches I will definitely and immediately be a part/member of it if it was free, if it required payment I will wait until I have a good financial status, then apply ... Wishing you the best and very excited for you ... I consider myself a seeker of understanding the true nature of the universe . And it's nice to meet fellow seekers

I have recently been reflecting on the implications of the temporal ontology of Eternalism/Block Universe, which is a B-Theory of Time (not referencing the moving spotlight theory). Eternalism claims that all points in time (similar to space) — past, present and future — all coequally exist simultaneously as part of a fixed, permanent, rigid, and unchanging four-dimensional block. When it comes to temporal passage, this position defends a static theory of time. Time, according to this view, does not pass or change — temporal becoming is at best only a subjective mind-dependent illusion of consciousness, not a mind-independent objective feature of reality. This is why time from the outside would appear to look like an ice block rather than a flowing river.

So, I was recently wondering: if there are genuine possible/potential futures (the future is open and not closed) that the universe might take; or, in other words, if what we do (or what happens) in the present can affect or change what path the future can take when it undergoes its transformation from potentiality to actuality, does that undermine eternalism/the block universe? The reason why I ask is because eternalism is making the claim that all moments in time already exist (the future is already actual) due to time being like a fixed, rigid, static and unchanging ice block (rather than time being like a river).

Since that is the case, as I said earlier, if there are possible futures (or infinitely potential possibilities or available paths for how the future unfolds), then would this undermine eternalism? Essentially, does the concept of an open future possessing genuine novelty refute eternalism?

I love how you talk about our mind being a time machine 😌 🤍🪽✨️

Time is fascinating indeed. The universe is infinite, and everything we create is made of something that has existed long before us. The time we know now would have no meaning without the existence of the sun, the moon, and the seasons.

This is a very nice video. Got keep
It coming more frequently, with consistency and the channel will grow…

[dominiks]

Important to note that eternalism and B theory are not synonymous and neither are presentism and A theory. One can be an A-theorist eternalist and in fact some philosophers defend that view - it's called moving spotlight theory

It's unequivocally a tremendous effort to collect and organize the cream of the crop contents from bonafide sources in one place and deliver it to the succinctly simplified manner and easily reachable presentation by keeping all its essence. I kindly implore you to make as many enlightening and soul-stirring edification as possible. Your effort and devotion in the noble cause of deeds really worth admiring and commendable 🙏👏

Well time moves at different speeds for example today i had some cleaning to do and half an hour felt like one whole day. But say, for example, I watch Noviria for one whole day, that would only seem like half an hour. lol. x

[REDPUMPERNICKEL]

All temporal problems evaporate completely
with the realization that 'time' is a concept only.
'Time' is an extraordinarily useful concept
standing in for what would otherwise be
a whole host of thoughts about things moving relatively.

Psychedelics allow one to experience Eternalism. The ancient cultures knew this. They also provide the realization that there is no physical existence…. All is consciousness, all is One.

I was gifted an inter-dimensional clock on which time moves in 6 different directions.

Quel sujet ! Tout cela m'a toujours préoccupé...

[genavialts]

This was so brilliantly done, I definitely subbed.

I think time is somewhere in between presentism and eternalism. Quantum mechanics does a weird thing of not being determinate and it throws a wrench into relativity. Here’s hoping we discover the truth in the coming decades.

Très complexe, mais tellement intéressant !

[madhavjha]

Everything is simple until time and energy pops I wonder, if there is any relation between time and energy other than

[tuneintolove]

My boyfriend & I were just talking about this! Time is so incredibly fascinating 🕰

[jonathanjollimore]

How do you feel about finite infinity's? I could actually draw you a picture of how time works now

[ibn.al.athari]

Your theory about mind as time travel reminds me of the anime Steins Gate
