"Time Does Not Have Dimensionality Or Even A Separate Physical Existence" is an article by Nick Percival published on 30 October 2019 on Beyond Mainstream.
Percival describes arriving at the position in the title without having set out to reach it. Fifty years of analysing the twin paradox led him to a video series on time in physics, begun on the modest premise that philosophical “Time” could be set aside in favour of the working construct of proper time. In the course of making it he concluded that proper time was all physics required, and from there — by a step he says he cannot reconstruct — that time has neither dimensionality nor a separate physical existence.
