Add CommentSectioned time is a figment of imagination since quantum time is blocktime where the future can influence the present .Quantum physics sees time as an intrinsic variable and not extrinsic as in relativistic physics.Time and destiny and indeterminism are a consequence of the relationality principle in universe.Earnst Mach has succintly termed it as the global influence on the local due to interrelatedness inherent in nature.That is so because as Spinoza argued there is a logical inevitability for a singular substance in universe,which also implies relationality and destiny.Time is how destiny expresses itself in every day life and concourse of events,given the fabric of space.Space is itself due to the presence of matter in it.The ancient Indian metaphysical concept of Brahma and Karma summarises it all.Time is circular since it encompasses matter and that has its limitations.We see time as linear due to logical and sensory limitations.At a certain level of consciousness time ceases to exist.
