    My simplistic answer, time exists so we can quantify change. In a static universe without time, could there be any change? Without change, there is no life.

      Yes, but it would not be change as we know it. Change would look diifferent.

      Imagine all moments of your life existing as a continuum- like a movie. When you don’t watch the movie, it still exists and there are still changes - the beginning is different from the end. But the changes are spatial, not temporal. It’s more like a painting that you can admire as a whole. Does that mean there’s no life? I really don’t know.
