Re Janus Point

Re Barbour's theory of time in Janus Point. I am only at Chapter 5. So this concern may be alleviated later. But thus far it seems that there is a major disconnect between his ideas about particle ensemble entropy and quantum weirdness. In my estimate, no theory of time is worth much if it doesn't take the quantum weirdo by the horns. Wheeler's delayed choice thought experiment, which is really a version of Schroedinger's cat experiment, must be somehow or another taken into account. (Ditto Goedel's idea that time is a delusion if GR is correct, which it appears to be.)
