Is Time Really Linear? Exploring the Mysteries of Time Perception

In this thought-provoking video, we delve into the nature of time and challenge the conventional perception of linearity. Exploring concepts like cyclical time, vertical time, retrocausality, and the block universe theory, we question whether past, present, and future events exist simultaneously. We discuss scientific experiments that hint at the possibility of the future influencing the present and the implications of these theories on free will and determinism. The episode also touches on the philosophical aspects of 'the present' and how our perception is influenced by the speed of light, ultimately leaving viewers pondering the true nature of time and destiny.
