I personally, intuitively think that the universe is/might be far stranger than we perceive it and that time too is only something we made up in order to make sense of how everything "flows". Maybe once we'll get smarter or drastically extend our lifespans the notion of time will change for us too, or maybe even disappear altogether(who knows?).
Just like that with physics. I'm not saying the naturalist/scientific way of studying the cosmos isn't the best we have, I truly think it is, it's just that I'm extremely sceptical that it reveals anything of value to us about the universe. I think mankind is still far too biased by its own tools(e.g. language), let alone when comprehending its own discoveries. I'm not talking about an individual bias either, I'm talking more about an impossibly inherent one in all of us, one we can't even see yet. But that's just my philosophical nonsense - I might be wrong.
