It won't work out because time is already an illusion in reality and a convenience in the mechanics formulas.

because time is already an illusion

And lunch time doubly so.

"It won't work out because time is already an illusion in reality and a convenience in the mechanics formulas."

I've been reading up on a lot of this subject lately and it is proving to be very interesting. MY GF has been giving me some strange looks lately as I walk in the house with an armload of physics books. The thought that everything is happening all oat once without any regard to "time" is a head-snapper.

Its predictions are wildly implausible, except where they have tuned the thing to agree with some already known. I don't expect it to pan out.

But there is something wrong with our present theory of gravity on large spatial scales. Too many epicycle corrections are piling up, when any lesser theory would just have been rejected by now as falsified by observation. (DM, DE, galactic rotation curves, etc).
