    Key Terms

    Apparent duration(in philosophy of time)
    How long a stretch of time feels or seems to last from your perspective.
    Objective elapsed time(as used in philosophy of time)
    The actual, measurable amount of time that passes according to physics and clocks, independent of how we experience it.
    Overlapping presents(as used in philosophy of time)
    The idea that multiple moments of 'now' can overlap or share content with each other, rather than being completely separate points in time.
    Phenomenal
    # Phenomenal "Phenomenal" means something that is remarkably impressive, outstanding, or extraordinary in a way that stands out noticeably. In everyday use, people call something phenomenal when it exceeds normal expectations and captures attention—like a phenomenal performance or a phenomenal achievement. The word comes from the idea of something being so notable that it appears striking to our perception or experience.
