Check out "The Order of Time" by Carlo Rovelli! You might find it interesting. He explains (WAY more eloquently than I could) that time is most likely an interpretation of underlying physical law, rather than a fundamental part of it!

An illusion, if just a fancy one.

I have a hard time buying that, given the Lorentz Transform. Time is just as much a real dimension as space is. (Or are the dimensions of space also "an interpretation of underlying physical law"?)

I believe the Lorentz Transformation more than I believe eloquent arguments.
