Out of Time: A Philosophical Study of Timelessness
There has been plenty of debate around what time is like, but not whether it exists. The goal of this book is to make the absence of time thinkable. Time might not exist. Beginning with an empirically flavoured examination of the 'folk' concept of time, the book explores the implications this has for our understanding of agency, and the extent to which our best physics and best metaphysics are compatible with a timeless conception of reality.

"The discovery that time does not exist would seem to bring the entire world to a grinding halt....We suggest the discovery that time does not exist may have no direct impact on our lives, even while it propels physics into a new era."
