concept advocated by Julian Barbour, arguing that time doesn't exist, and that instead one should view the universe as a giant configuration space, consisting of the positions of all particles relative to one-another. (In my opinion, the fact that this hypothesis has trouble explaining history, or at least, the human perception that there is a past, rather invalidates the whole thing. I am not happy about a theory that explains less, rather than more.)
