A new theory proposed by researchers at the Stevens Institute of Technology, Colorado State University, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows that time can exist in a quantum superposition, ticking both fast and slow at the same time.
The research also shows how quantum technologies are providing new tools to study the fundamental mysteries of physics.
Time, for instance, is a fundamental concept that is at once enigmatic and commonplace. We all use time every day, even in the most precise applications, such as GPS. But our understanding of the concept is still relatively small.
Great minds like Einstein have tried to tell us about time and how its flow is dependent on motion and gravity. But add a layer of quantum theory to it, and the flow of time becomes counterintuitive.
