> So it's pointless to say "time is an illusion". It's a basic category of thought If you think it’s pointless, it’s going to be pointless to you whether it’s true or not However, to give an alternative point of view. If you can model time differently and provide some predictions or enable some technology, then having a different understanding of time might be very useful. Even if we still need to use time in the models And that’s been the case with general relativity. For a long time, and for many physical phenomena, Newton laws and models are just fine. But relativity has enabled a lot of better technologies and finer understanding of some things, through re-defining how we model time
