A recent study proposes that time might not be a fundamental aspect of the universe but rather an illusion stemming from quantum entanglement. This new perspective aims to address the inconsistencies between our best theories of the universe, which have hindered the development of a unified “theory of everything.” Researchers have suggested that by considering time as a result of quantum entanglement, the mysterious connection between two distant particles, they might solve this long-standing problem. The study, published on May 10 in the journal Physical Review A, explores this idea.
