Aging, because beautiful old people are works of art

Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, to the future. But, while most people think of time as a constant, physicist Albert Einstein showed that time is an illusion. Also according to theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli, passing time is an illusion: our naive perception of its flow doesn’t correspond to the physical reality. Basically, more and more physicists believe that past, present and future coexist. They believe that “every moment is co-creating every other moment both forward and backward in time”, meaning that the past influences the future and the future influences the past in a endless feedback loop.
