Enduring self
Albert Einstein and other theroetical physicists have maintained that time is illusion. Since it was Einstein who said this, we think it must be true. And so we accept it, at least superficially. But consider: If time is an illusion, what are we? If part of what gives me a feeling of being an enduring self is the sense that I extend across time, then what am I if time itself is unreal?
This is very tough for me to understand. The underlined two parts (enduring self and extend across time) are not clear to me.
Any comments will be appreciated!
