What if time is not analogous to space as philosophers and physicists suggest? What if we have a serious misunderstanding of time?
Time is not a road that we travel upon, but rather the library of all events ever. Every possible universe has a library of events not in sequential order but rather as a famous British scientist suggest wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff that is interconnected.
This would create an easier understanding for why Lewis (and I believe he is correct) one could not kill one's grandfather if they were to travel back in time. This would mean that as far as time is concerned there is no "past" or "future" rather all of time is the present. We merely believe that we are at a specific moment in time. When in fact all of time is occurring at once. The experience of being in the library of time, and understanding what time is are fundamentally different.
Going to flesh this out more but was distracted from Sider's Ontological Realism and had to write this out to continue my work.
