“Time is an illusion” and doesn’t exist as we know it, according to many physicists

Time feels so obvious that we rarely question its existence. Our clocks tick, we sense the hours passing, and we connect events to a single timeline. Yet, in many corners of theoretical physics, the very notion of time as a forward-moving entity is under scrutiny. ome researchers claim that time may not exist in any fundamental way. They argue that our deeply held belief in a flowing “now” might be a trick of perception. Time illusions in daily life Our daily life depends on the past, present, and future being well-defined. We pay bills on time. We set our alarms to wake up in the morning.  “The equations of physics do not tell us which events are occurring right now,” is an unsettling statement for scientists to make. That remark highlights the gap between how we sense time and how modern equations describe it. This perspective on timelessness has gained traction through work from many theoretical physicists, including Dr. Carlo Rovelli a theoretical physicist and Emeritus Professor at the Centre de Physique Théorique (CPT) of Aix-Marseille University in France. Dr. Rovelli has developed approaches in loop quantum gravity that often do away with a global time parameter. Time, physics, and intuition Our intuitions tell us the present moment is distinct, while the future feels open and the past seems fixed. However, Einstein’s theories suggest that all moments could be equally real, leaving no universal present.  Researchers have shown that gravity can slow clocks. So, for instance, time passes a little bit slower at sea level compared to…
