He may have started the thread but the idea is presented
quite well in "The End of Time - The Next Revolution in
Physics", by Julian Barbour, (c) 1999, Oxford University
Press, ISBN 0-19-511729-8 Dropping the concept of time
resolves all the apparent contradictions within quantum
physics, e.g. entanglement and effects preceding causes.

Oy! Now there is a way to solve problems!

I have not read the book, so cannot comment with authority, but it
seems Julian is in a hurry to throw away time in order to solve problems
that can or will be solved without tossing time.

The amount of disciplines that "time" cuts across are many. The concept
has served us well for a long long time.

The "answering" of quantum effects issues by throwing out time will
probably create many new problems with just about everything else.

My curiosity is piqued. I'll have to read the book.
