Is time linear or cyclical?

If time is cyclical, then does that mean that everything that happens will just happen again infinitely many times? , for example, will me making this exact same post reoccur? and also, once I return to existence, will it be the same me, I mean, will I experience it or not?

If time were linear it would be Repetitive.
If time were cyclical it were Fractale.

In this case, time is just observation of force moving, for example universe expansion has attribute of time so we perceive time as linear. Time is really just an attribute that something exist, so this "Time" doesn't exist but the concept does.
