  Time is one of the undisputed foundations of our life in the real world. Here
it is argued that inside small isolated quantum systems, time does not pass as
we are used to, and it is primarily in this sense that quantum objects enjoy
only limited reality. Quantum systems, which we know, are embedded in the
everyday classical world. Their preparation as well as their measurement-phases
leave durable records and traces in the entropy of the environment. The
Landauer Principle then gives a quantitative threshold for irreversibility.
With double slit experiments and tunneling as paradigmatic examples, it is
proposed that a label of timelessness offers clues for rendering a Copenhagen
type interpretation of quantum physics more realistic and acceptable by
providing a coarse but viable link from the fundamental quantum realm to the
classical world which humans directly experience.
