There's a book about this called "The singular universe and the reality of time" by a physicist and a natural philosopher. They think that if we take time as real (not emergent) and irreversible then it could help resolve some of the problems in physics. Like for example the fact that the multiverse theory is untestable. They also emphasise that mathematics (which is reversible) is just a really powerful tool. But it's not reality and modern physics has somewhat mistaken the map for the territory. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Singular_Universe_and_the_Reality_of_Time https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Singular_Universe_and_th...
