Consciousness and time are related through theoretical debates regarding their fundamental nature, with some models proposing consciousness as a precursor to time {fact:3, fact:5, fact:9}, while others categorize both as fundamental properties of the universe {fact:6, fact:10}. Additionally, the relationship is explored through the temporal nature of conscious experience {fact:1, fact:4} and the potential for consciousness to exist independently of temporal progression {fact:2, fact:7}.

Is Reality an Illusion? New Theory Challenges Modern Physics scitechdaily.com 2 facts
quoteMaria Strømme stated regarding her theory: "Yes, you could say so. But above all, it is a theory in which consciousness comes first, and structures such as time, space and matter arise afterwards. It is a very ambitious attempt to describe how our experienced reality functions."
claimMaria Strømme, a Professor of Materials Science at Uppsala University, proposes a theoretical model in AIP Advances where consciousness is the fundamental element of reality, from which time, space, and matter arise.

claimBarry Dainton critiques panpsychism by noting that for photons, which travel at the speed of light, time does not pass, which challenges the assumption that consciousness is essentially temporal.
claimThe thesis that conscious experience is essentially temporal implies that if time does not exist at the fundamental level of reality, then consciousness cannot exist at the fundamental level of reality.
