  Eternalism, the view that what we regard locally as being located in the
past, the present and the future equally exists, is the best ontological
account of temporal existence in line with special and general relativity.
However, special and general relativity are not fundamental theories and
several research programs aim at finding a more fundamental theory of quantum
gravity weaving together all we know from relativistic physics and quantum
physics. Interestingly, some of these approaches assert that time is not
fundamental. If time is not fundamental, what does it entail for eternalism and
the standard debate over existence in time? First, I will argue that the
non-fundamentality of time to be found in string theory entails standard
eternalism. Second, I will argue that the non-fundamentality of time to be
found in loop quantum gravity entails atemporal eternalism, namely a novel
position in the spirit of standard eternalism.
