It doesnt make sense to me… I know there was a past and there is a future although ‘now’ is fleeting. We measure time in days, weeks, months so how can it be an illusion? Oh and the belief that everything is happening now – what’s that about?
edit1: A lot of people are posting that time is not an illusion and where did I find that information from but there are articles where physicists state that it is. This is one:

I just wanted to know if someone could explain it clearly to me and I appreciate everyone who has tried to but it seems like a bit of a tricky and complicated subject. Thanks to all who have posted a comment.

I think it’s about our perception of time. Our sense of “time” comes from movement on a cosmic scale. The earth rotates and gives us days, the earth goes around the sun which gives us years. And our sun and the the whole Milky Way is going around whatever is at the center of our universe, which is constantly expanding. So our sense of “when” we are is really just based off of “where” we are in the universe. As far as the everything Is happening now bit, I think that goes more into multiple dimensions and stuff.
