Why do scientists think that time is an illusion?

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 didnt hear people saying that time is an illusion, do you mean that time is relative?
