Ghost particle detected beneath Antarctica leads scientists to hidden galaxy 11 billion light years away |
A tiny particle that barely interacts with anything in the universe has helped scientists solve one of astronomy’s…
The unsettling possibility raised by quantum gravity is that time may not be a basic ingredient of reality. It may be something that emerges only inside the universe, from entanglement, entropy, and relationships between physical systems — while the deeper quantum structure underneath may have no ticking clock at all.
The unsettling possibility in quantum gravity is not just that our clocks might be inaccurate. It is that…
