I didn't read the article because I can never wrap my mind around anything to do with the true nature of time...

But it is kind of beautiful to think that all of human history took place during an 'illusion'.

This is one of those cases where the poetic language used to try to explain complex phenomena to lay persons is unhelpful. It doesn't really mean illusion in any sense consistent with what people might imagine that to mean.

Indeed it's not really that revelatory. "Experiment agrees with what we already pretty much know" would have been less interesting.
