I see. Where did this concept originate?

How can we discuss is it's an illusion if we don't define it first?

It's like the thread of "Do you believe in God?"... what do you call God?...

What do you call time?
I don't think it's that ambiguous. Time is a measure of change. Does anyone disagree with that?

It can be seen as constant, such as when measuring the frequency of an atom's oscillation in an atomic clock.

It can be seen as variable, such as differing judgment of how much time passes, as measured by a clock, when we're having fun as opposed to when we're bored.
