I'm not an expert on the theory. It's a tough new paradigm to think about. I will describe my point of view about it though.
It is a theory derived from quantum mechanics. You probably know about quantum entanglement and how entangled particles seem to be able to exchange information faster than light, even if they are dozens of miles or theoretically thousands or millions of miles apart. Einstein called that ‘spooky action at a distance’. He was a skeptic.
Quantum entanglement has been demonstrated numerous times experimentally. The explanation for that is that time does not exist in a deeper reality more fundamental than the one humans experience in the Universe of mass and space. It is an interesting paradigm to consider.
Plato thought about a timeless realm of forms apart from this Universe and its content of mass, He thought an original form or blueprint of the structure of everything that exists in this Universe existed originally in that metaphysical realm; everything is this Universe is an imperfect copy of a blueprint from that realm. Some of the copies are broken forms.
Plotinus- a neo-Platonist philosopher who St. Augustine followed before converting to Christianity, developed an entire book named The Enneads (it means 54 tracts) to describe the relationship of The One (aka. God), The Intelligence (comparable to the Word of God), the Realm of Forms and the world created. The realm of forms is timeless and The One is ineffable and unapproachable. Jesus Christ said that no one has seen The Father except himself, and that if you have seen him you have seen God.
The physics of the new theory are equally without time. There was a physicist named Hugh Everett who invented a Multiverse theory based on statistics I believe it was. He worked for a government military think tank and speculated that instead of a wave-function collapse when quantum particles are observed (one can determine position or speed yet not both simultaneously, logically) a new universe exists matching the new information of the particle. He thought there were an infinite number of Universes in existence, perhaps without time in any (they are fully developed from alpha to omega already (maybe God created or thinks them) and though just travels to an appropriate Universe matching his though development. Time doesn’t exist in that paradigm either, although mind-experience does.

One tends to regard time as a linear sequence experienced objectively. The new theory paradigm is that time is created by quantum entanglement and the human mind perceives that in its one-after-another-way as time. The quantum entanglement of all mass in the Higgs field is one where massless two-dimensional particles pick up an emergent third dimension borrowed from the Higgs field. A human mind observing that phenomena prefers to structure it as space-time ala Einstein and relativity.
N.A.S.A. made a video on that. Maybe there are fewer dimensions rather than higher dimensions below the apparent four dimensions of experience. Massless two-dimensional particles in a two dimensional framework that when entangled in some way double- the forumla 2 + 2 = 4 explains the theory. https://youtu.be/tc7LpJswIZU?si=r2pkto_FrKBoxm20
Obvious questions arise if time does not exist except as an emergent characteristic generated in a human mind by collapsing wave-functions or switching to matching, appropriate Universes (Max Tegmark elaborated n that as a level four universe in ‘The Mathematical Universe’. One cannot time travel forward if time is not real. If time is not real can humans travel about the mass entanglement universe layer faster than light via the static pre-exist Universe (or becoming massless two-dimensional information themselves)? If space-time is only an emergent and not an ultimate fact in the Universe as people exist in level two rather than level one, can spatial locations be any more real than time?
