We perceive time as universal,with a universal now, and we perceive clocks as rinning at the same speed. All are illusions of perception.Actually, time is moving in one direction so it's not an illusion. It's because of entropy, which is also called the arrow of time - total entropy is the only quantity that cannot be reversed to a previous state. The scale of time can be quite different because locally entropy is increasing at different speed.
It's not all illusions of perception - what you perceive is very real. If time is an illusion then we are an illusion too because our existence corresponds to a certain state of entropy, i.e. certain time. Time scales are relative to one another but it doesn't make them invalid, only negligible in some cases. For example, the timescale of a diamond degradation is much different than the timescale of a human life put under the same condition.We perceive time as universal,with a universal now, and we perceive clocks as rinning at the same speed.

The fact that you are not able to perceive everything doesn't mean that what you experience is not real. But the interpretation of the perceived information could be illusory.

Actually, QM mathematics demonstrated that Newtonian physics is describing the macroword reality, with certain simplification applied to earth mainly the concerning absoluteness of time and space, almost perfectly! Newton himself noticed that the notions of time and space as absolute are not necessarily true in a broader scale. He was focused on describing how things work so absolute time and space gave him a theoretical foundation to describe what he sees. No other person had achieved so much in describing so realistically the natural world and giving the tools to create technology and other, more broad theories, so his work and deductions are as farthest from illusion as is humanly possible.Although we know Newtonian physics is a perceptual illusion, it can get us to the Moon and back.

You might wanna define illusion first before trashing Newton.
That's not entropyTale a new pack of cards - it has low entropy. Now shuffle the cards and the entropy increases, we have the same number of cards in the same pack. So entropy itself is a perceptuall illusion.
Einstein had never trashed Newton. In fact, he questioned the absoluteness of time and space based on some texts where Newton himself suggested that time and space must be infinite.Einstein trashed Newton. Are you afraid I might trash you?
Newton is visual man, while Einstein is aural man. The ear has replaced the eye.
Quantum mechanics is about resonance, it is about the ear rather than the eye.
You to can't see your way clear to agree with me, but you could listen to the sound of my voice. How would you feel?

I don't understand your analogy about sight and hearing. Einstein was having very realistic imagination in pictures for which reason he could spot contradictions very easily. If you are trying to say that Einstein was better with 'waves' then you are wrong.
That's not entropy
In exactly the same way that the Sun going around the Earth is an illusion.Why? (is time an illusion)
I believe it is because Mole said so.Why? (is time an illusion)
You speak about illusions. I think you should define illusion first. From my part, I just like to discuss such ideas and won't mind learning something new.How do you feel as you declare Mole to be wrong?
Do you think Mole is declaring you to be wrong?
How do you feel being wrong?
Entropy is the opposite of disorder. If you change entropy in one part of the room applying force, than the state of entropy in the other part is also going to be influenced. This isn't a disorder, but a tendency towards increase in the overall symmetry.Entropy is an increase in disorder. We first perceive the order then we perceive the disorder.
(1) If the objective world exists only in the present moment, and "time" denotes change and movement between "past", present, or "future", then time does not exist in the objective world.
(2) If the objective world operates only according to a logical order, and "entropy" denotes disorder, then entropy does not exist in the objective world.
(3) If illusions are subjective concepts or subjective perceptions that do not represent objective world phenomena, and 1 and 2 are valid, then "entropy" and "time" are illusions.
The present moment is the instance in which everything exists.(1) What is a present moment?
The DSM-V told me.(2) Why do you think that entropy is a disorder?
Yes!(3) Then the notion of illusion is also... an illusion
