"One way to explain this is when you look at a process like spilled milk spreading across a table, it's clear that time is moving forward. If you were to play that in reverse, you'd immediately know something was wrong—it would be hard to believe milk could just gather back into a glass." #quantum
Physicists uncover evidence of two arrows of time emerging from the quantum realm
What if time is not as fixed as we thought? Imagine that instead of flowing in one direction—from past to future—time could flow forward or backwards due to processes taking place at the quantum level...
