Abstract
Contemporary research programs in fundamental physics appear to suggest that there could be two (physical) times---or none at all. This essay articulates these possibilities in the context of quantum gravity, and in particular of cosmological models developed in an approach called `loop quantum gravity', and explains how they could nevertheless underwrite our manifestly temporal world. A proper interpretation of these models requires a negotiation of an atemporal and a temporal sense of the emergence of (space)time.
