Amelia Hunt, a neuroscientist with the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, says the standstill (nicknamed the stopped-clock illusion) occurs because our brains anticipate what…

Time crystals. In a timeless world…
It may sound like science fiction, but it’s not: Scientists have created the first time crystal, using a chain of ions. Just as a standard crystal repeats in a regular spatial pattern, a time crystal repeats in time, returning to a similar configuration at regular intervals. (1) Crystals developing in time. Over and over again.…

Logic violation…
Associate Professor Dr Joan Vaccaro, of Griffith's Centre for Quantum Dynamics, has solved an anomaly of conventional physics and shown that a mysterious effect called 'T violation' could be the origin of time evolution and conservation laws. In her research published in The Royal Society Dr Vaccaro says T violation, or a violation of time…

Entangled timelines… One…
A new experiment suggests that reality can split into multiple intertwined timelines, a phenomenon termed "entangled histories". Choose Your Own Adventure books are fun, but they let readers choose only one version of events at a time. Quantum mechanics, a new experiment suggests, requires that multiple adventures occur simultaneously to create a consistent account of…

Tarantulas have evolved almost exactly the same shade of vibrant blue at least eight separate times. (1) If time does not exist, is anything happening now NOT defined by what happened in the past and by what WILL happen in the future? Can things happen in any other way? Like tarantulas evolving the same colour…
