Abstract

This paper challenges the notion of emergent time in quantum cosmology by examining
the reconciliation of the timeless Wheeler-deWitt equation with the Universe’s
dynamical evolution. It critically evaluates the analogy between the Wheeler-DeWitt
and Klein-Gordon equations, highlighting challenges for the identification of an emergent
time parameter. The paper concludes that refining this analogy may lead to a better
understanding of emergent time in quantum cosmology, though still not free of
complications.
