There is a deep seated reluctance among physicist to acknowledge the possibility that Mathematics is more fundamental than physics. (They have a good out via Platonism.) This article betrays that prejudice when it talks about "constants" such as 'G' but fails to mention 'e', and 'Pi'. Group theoretic symmetry groups are not subject to time. e is not subject to time. Pi is not subject to time.
In fact, I'll assert here (entirely without proof for now ;) that time itself is a side-effect of computational cognition: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=e%5E%28i*pi%29+%2B1 (the mother of all equations and not subject to time or any evolutionary process).
