Abstract
Can Time Be Both Real and Unreal? We make appointments in time and pay our rent and mortgages in a more or less timely fashion. We know we have had birthdays in the past and expect a few more in the future. Time seems to be very solid and real. Yet we know that everything we experience is done in the present and the only real time we have is now. All our concepts of past and future are illusory. They are a kind of processing we do with stored "pictures" in something we call a mind. With this view time seems to be something ethereal and unreal. This essay will examine this split objectively and subjectively.
