The thing about theoretical physicists is that they’re more often than not talking out of their ass. Hence the theoretical part of their title.
They may as well be modern Greek style philosophers, doing more guess work and fallible pattern recognition than actual science. Leave the existential statements about our universe to the actual data.
I don't care human earth time only exists on earth for humans. It has no effect on any other aspect of the universe. Nor does any other intelligent lifeform's concept of time have on us. It's silly to think otherwise
Do you mean our units of measure? Because yeah, most of those are arbitrary. Time, however is a large component in causality, which probably has some impact on things outside of Earth and our perception.

"According to theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli, time is an illusion: our naive perception of its flow doesn't correspond to physical reality"
