afaik it's certainly not any kind of established fact that time isn't a property of the universe. Time is fundamental to causality, which makes it hard to reduce away. I've heard it theorized that a linear conception of time may be a product of consciousness, i.e. time flows in many directions but we are only able to perceive it in the direction we flow.
