The new problem was that time played no role in this equation.
In effect, it says that nothing ever happens in the universe, a prediction that is clearly at odds with the observational evidence.
...1983, the theorists Don Page and William Wootters came up with a novel solution based on the quantum phenomenon of entanglement.

This is the exotic property in which two quantum particles share the same existence, even though they are physically separated.
One way to do this is to compare the change in the entangled particles with an external clock that is entirely independent of the universe.
--This is equivalent to god-like observer outside the universe measuring the evolution of the particles using an external clock.
--Page and Wootters showed that the particles would appear entirely unchanging—that time would not exist in this scenario.
And it exists only for observers inside the universe. Any god-like observer outside sees a static, unchanging universe, just as the Wheeler-DeWitt equations predict."
