There's nothing "illusory" about time as described by the research. Rather, the authors apply an account of motion and time as emerging jointly from a mathematical model of a toy universe that does not explicitly include time as a parameter of the model.

It's interesting stuff, but it would be equally true to say they discovered motion is illusory. What they're doing is neither; rather, they are contributing to a thread of research about time and dynamics that avoids some infelicities and pitfalls associated with theories where time is an explicit parameter in theory.
