Elaborate on the definition of Atemporal?

Question

"independent of or unaffected by time"

-Merriam-Webster.com

So I know the dictionary definition (and I'm not confused about it), but I'm having difficulty with the usage. Firstly, how can something actually be "atemporal"? Could someone provide me with a simple and obvious example? Secondly, I understand the below statement, but again, not the usage of "atemporally".

"Propositions about the future are either atemporally true or

atemporally false and so not under our control."

It's just not jumping out at me. I might just be having one of my many, ah...moments, if you know what I mean.

Answer 1

well atemporal means something that is not affected by time right...so almost anything that doesnt change no matter what can be descirbed as atemporal like ' The mistakes humans have made in their treatment towards others have been made and therefore it is atemporal'

the statement to me means that whatever you think about the future it will either happen or it wont happen and time wont stop it either way.
