Eternalism (philosophy of time)

Eternalism is a philosophical theory about time. It states that all moments of time exist and are real, no matter when they are. In other words, the past, present, and future all exist at the same time, it's just that we experience events in the present. So even though something happened in the past, it is still alive and real in the same way now as it was then.
