People perceive time as a single -sided road. That is, time always goes forward from the past through the present to the future. But the new discovery shows that time can go not only forward, but also forth and this happens in the quantum world. Physicists studied the behavior of the time for the quantum system using a set of equations. To the surprise of scientists, they found two opposite axes of time. They are theoretical evidence of an unusual time of time at the quantum level. The study is published in Scientific Reports, Interesting Engineering writes.

According to physicists, the results of the study show that although we perceive the time as a line that moves only forward, people simply do not realize that the course of time is possible in the opposite direction. Moreover, this phenomenon can occur simultaneously, but in the quantum world.

Quantum physics suggests that time can move in the opposite direction, because at the quantum level, particles can demonstrate a strange behavior that seems unnatural on a large scale. When these particles interact with the environment, they form the type of open quantum system that can skip energy or information.

Physicists suspected that as soon as energy or information enters the macroscopic world, but time is only in one direction. Now physicists have found out what is wrong.

The authors of the study used mathematical equations to describe the evolution of the state of the quantum system over time. They specifically examined how the equations of the system behaved when time was believed to go only forward, and not backward.

Surprisingly, despite the openness of the quantum system, the equations remained unchanged, regardless of whether time moved in or forth. This means that the basic laws governing the system followed the symmetry of the conversion of time. That is, physicists received two opposite axes of time that may exist at the same time.

According to physicists, the new discovery suggests that the symmetry of the time of time is preserved in open quantum systems, and the axis of the time may not be as fixed as we feel it.

In addition to the detection of opposite lines of time, physicists also saw another interesting element in their equations. As a rule, most physical equations include smooth, continuous changes. But physicists have discovered the presence of a time gap factor that retains a strange balance in equations.

While people think that time can only go forward, the time gap factor retains the reverse movement of time mathematically justified. In practice, this means that the system can theoretically follow a trajectory that looks normal in the opposite direction of the course of time, physicists say.

In our reality, we observe how events unfold in a direct sequence: people are aging, not getting younger, and past events remain fixed, while the future remains uncertain. But there are theories that suggest that such a movement of time can only be an inalienable line of time itself, but rather a product of how we perceive the Universe and interact with it.

Studying hidden symmetries in quantum systems, physicists find out whether the basic balance has time that allows it to move both forward and back under certain conditions. The goal of physicists is to determine whether the seemingly unilateral flow of time is simply limiting our human experience or the unknown law of nature.

The results of the new study show that the connection between time and physics is not always consistent and it can change dramatically when we plunge into the quantum world. Therefore, further research is needed to improve the understanding of the time.

As Focus already wrote, scientists have proposed a new theory that strengthens the assumption that humanity may not be the only reasonable look in the universe.
