In my view, these are all questions, not about time, but rather about
our perception of time.
Yes, he seems to have discovered Eddington's "arrow of time."
There also seems to be some confusion over the difference between the
spacetime dimensions, and matter-energy. In a particular way, we don't
_measure_ time or space, but express measurements in units of
spacetime, such as the period between defined events or the distance
between defined spatial points. But this is a pedantry - it's well
understood what is meant by "measuring time and distance." Likewise, we
don't measure volts, but express the measurement of a difference in
electrical potential in the unit volts. So, there's nothing unique
about time in this regard.
