Is Time Real?

David Eagleman, American neuroscientists
Brain constructs the illusion of time. Color doesn't exist in outside world, we have electromagnetic radiation that constructs color. Same way the brain constructs time.
There is an extraordinary things about the NOW moment. Brain picks up information from all the senses, processes at different speeds, constructs a story about it, it takes time and the moment we realize it, becomes past. When we actually realises now moment it passes in the past.
J Krishnamurti has said that our real self is actually a ' I thought ', which is the response of the memory.
Our I thought is past, part of memory. Knowledge is past. Thought is Time and both are illusions.
Real Experiencer is a I thought and what he experiences is always from memory. Memory is the past knowledge. So both experience and experiencer are the same i.e. memory only.
JK also said that past (memory) modifies itself in present and projects itself as future. There is no present and no future, only past exists.
