Philosophers have long debated the nature of time. For instance, Immanuel Kant argued that time is not something that exists independently of human perception; instead, it is a framework our minds use to make sense of experiences. This perspective leads to the idea that our experience of time could indeed be illusory, influenced by memory, expectation, and consciousness.
