Physicists Show Time Flows Asymmetrically At The Electron Level

Direct evidence of time reversal had been considered impossible — until now.

 

[This article originally appeared in print as "Time Asymmetry Finally Found."]

At the level of tiny particles, the laws of physics are symmetrical in time. A reaction that proceeds in one direction (such as particle A transforming into particle B) is just as likely to occur in the reverse direction (particle B transforming into A). 

It’s not too strange a concept: A video showing a billiard ball’s initial bounce off a pool table’s cushion would look the same whether it was running backward or forward in time. The physics works just as well, and identically, either way.

Yet experiments since the 1960s have suggested there should be exceptions to this rule — special cases of so-called “time-reversal violation.” The first conclusive evidence of such a violation was finally discovered late last year by collaborators on an experiment named BaBar at Stanford University’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.

      Time is an illusion created by the clock. A device that measures what :?: Tick Tock I am a clock,
      off to work, into bed, just keep ticking, they don’t realise they are all brain dead.Only mechanical devices need clocks to perform. What are you.
      All there is is NOW

        Well-said, Wizard! Time was supposedly made more “accurate” to make things like trains run more efficiently, when the reality is – time was made to control slaves more efiiciently. There are infinitely better ways to run things.

      The writer of the article gave no proof of the assymetrical flow of time, simply an observation – of what is not clarified. Rate it as BS, even if it is from Discover Magazine. A better explanation is desired.

        “discover” magazine is a propaganda rag sheet. It is to True Science what the enquirer magazine is to a hoard of heinies after the store shelves run dry of TP.
