We don't know either our time is moving straight, or we're living in a reversed time arrow. If our time made a loop, then we couldn't notice it, since it must have been repeating of the same period with all the same circumstances. If a loop is impossible, then any curves are out of possibility. And then the arrow of time has no other direction, except for going straight somewhere.

Time is a concept we are taught as a way of understanding change but fundamentally speaking when semantics are put to the side and societal norms are put to the side there's only change no time

(It's because I'm not a native speaker. Unfortunately I got troubles till now with it.) I can't understand what it means "there's only change no time".

Ahh what I mean is that things are changing constantly and are different every day and will never be the same because every change is different then all the change previously And so we made a concept called time and gave it the attributes of change only we told everyone that it's called time then we added more concepts to it like past and future and said that the past is in some distant place that we might be able to travel to one day When it's all a lie

I am not really familiar with different time conception, while one way of critics of such is partially known for me. It was discovered by a British philosopher John McTaggart in his book "The Unreality of Time". I didn't read the book, only receptions and different explanations. Anyway, there are objections to time existence proposed by existentialists or phenomenologists. Their critics is mostly to the reality itself, like it's only a mind construction: each personal one for each individual. McTaggart's is an idealistic, but from a logical point of view. He said something about series of events, and that "future, present, past" cannot be accepted, because it is different for every event, depending on where it is located on a line of events. "Before/after" according to him isn't better, it deals with the same problems. So proposed his version, which is quite hard for me to remember. I'd say I agree with you about the presence of social elements in many concepts of time.
