Yes but it wouldn’t matter because for us it’s strictly equivalent to experiencing time linearly. That’s the epistemological limit of science. Physics don’t concern itself with truth, only empirical evidence and models.

That’s also why for all his brillance John C. Matter is very wrong here. "[…] we have no equations that show how true nothingness turns into somethingness. So, since the universe did not spring into existence, it has always existed, though perhaps not in its current form." is a conclusion which doesn’t follow from its premise. We just have no idea and no way to test anything.
