Does Presentism Still Exist

It is in human nature to want to figure out the unknown, because the unknown is intriguing yet frightening. If we cannot have the answer, the curiosity of it eats away at us inside. We yearn for answers in order to somehow be fulfilled. Some answers, even if they are far from the truth, satisfy certain people because it seems logical to the way they think. Other answers create ideas which may be possible. However, these ideas are theoretical and philosophical in nature. Theoretical and philosophical ideas expanding from theories like SpaceTime seem very difficult, if not impossible, to come up with. Even so, to prove that it is indeed possible, this section of the paper will provide branching philosophical ideas coming from SpaceTime, String Theory, and Multiverse Theory. Starting off with SpaceTime, the first idea(s) to discuss are relative and absolute space. Relative space is space that is constantly moving. According to this idea, space is understood and exists from the perspective of the observer, meaning space is subjective (Norton 180 - 181). If relative space exists, then so shall absolute

It persists the idea that everything is in the present, the past and future do not exist (Savitt 2). On the surface, this gives the illusion that time is static because the observer with the presentism mindset views every second in the present. However, in a sense, no matter if the observer views time always in the present, it still moves due to the events the observer constantly encounters. In contrast, Eternalism takes note of actual events in the future and has a more wide spread view on a collection of situations in the past, present, and future (Savitt 15). Eternalists completely detach their mindsets from the concept of time by not observing time as past, present, and future, but by observing a collection of situations that will happen which, in their minds, have no ties to time (Savitt
