Time Doesn't Have to Be Fundamental
It could be that down on a fundamental level, the particles themselves aren't actually obeying laws that have time built in as some explicit mathematical variable. And this is a fairly modern view, in fact, very modern view. One way to think of it is if you've got a film and all frames are arranged in sequence - but there's no explicit time there in the way they're arranged. But you could reconstruct the time by saying successive frames in the movie will be very similar to the previous frame.
