Abstract

We know many things about the time, more exactly we know many characteristics of time, and we know that we live in a time governed world. Time goes through always in one direction. It is always regular. As time is animprescriptible thing in our environment it is everywhere around us, we think we know it very properly. But physicists & philosophers have a question in their mind about the real existence of time. Time is not real, it is actually an illusion, and this is the belief of many physicists and philosophers. This idea of the non-existence of time had been first introduced by Greek philosopher Plato after him, in 20 the century great physicist Albert Einstein said in his special relativity that time is an illusion, after that there is a long research &argument in this topic of time’s real existence but in 2013 this argument almost have come to an end by the book of Dr. Lee Smolin “Time Reborn”. In this book Smolin discussed that how the time exists in the whole universe, not only exists actually time is governing our universe. He proves the existence of time with the use of cosmology. Using laws of nature, we have an idea about timeless universe, but Smolin shows that laws of the nature are nothing but the result of evolution, which implies that time is real because one of the greatest condition of evolution is time.
