Julian Barbour (born 1937) is a British physicist. He is the author of The End of Time, Absolute or Relative Motion?: The Discovery of Dynamics.
He holds the controversial view that time does not exist, and that most of physics' problems arise from assuming that it does exist. He argues that we have no evidence of the past other than our memory of it, and no evidence of the future other than our belief in it. It is all an illusion: there is no motion and no change.
Barbour lives in Oxford, England.
