The aim of this paper is to examine the metaphysical position of eternalism, the view that past, present, and future are equally real and that the flow of time is an illusion. These claims are analyzed and what the paper tries to show is that the first thesis is hard to formulate in such a way that it can be used to distinguish eternalism from its opposite and that no plausible explanation is offered of how we create the 'illusion' of the flow of time.
