The 2022 Nobel Prize in physics highlighted the challenges quantum experiments pose to “local realism.” However, a growing body of experts propose “retrocausality” as a…
How long is the present? The answer, Cornell researchers suggest in a new study, depends on your heart. The researchers discovered that our moment-to-moment perception…
Researchers at Eötvös Loránd University have investigated whether the perception of time changes with age, and if so, how, and why we perceive the passage…
An interdisciplinary team of researchers from Cornell University conducted a study on time perception in a highly realistic setting, using virtual reality simulations of a…
A new study by theoretical physicists has made progress toward identifying how particles and cells give rise to large-scale dynamics that we experience as the…
In the early stages of the epidemic, the majority of those who were confined to their homes said that they felt that time moved more…
For the first time, scientists demonstrate that the best time of day to exercise varies on one’s sex and training goals. When should I fit…
A new technique to measure vibrating atoms could improve the precision of atomic clocks and of quantum sensors for detecting dark matter or gravitational waves….
Does time exist? The answer to this question may seem obvious: of course it does! Just look at a calendar or a clock. But developments…
New study shows the boundary between time moving forward and backward may blur in quantum mechanics. A team of physicists at the Universities of Bristol,…
Time-sensitive neurons fatigue and skew our perception of time. On some days, time flies by, while on others it seems to drag on. A new…
For centuries, the mental world of the mind and the physical world were treated as utterly distinct. While the movement of inanimate objects could be…
Researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology teamed up with colleagues from the U.S. and Switzerland and returned the state of a quantum…
Scientists at the University College London have discovered that an individual’s perception of time does seem to slow when they prepare to make a physical…
Scientists are proposing the building of a hyper-accurate nuclear clock that would lose only one-tenth of a second over 14 billion years, the current age…
The General Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein implies that gravity can cause time to slow down. Scientists have now shown that there is a…
