The Greeks introduced the idea of time as linear, moving inexorably forward from the past into the future. This linear concept of time gained prominence in Western thought and became deeply ingrained in our cultural understanding. As science advanced, our understanding of time evolved further. Newton's laws of motion and his concept of absolute time seemed to provide a definitive framework for understanding the nature of time.
