Perceived: Physicists Observe the Light Passing From "Imaginary Time" in a Material

Summary by Trust My Science
For the first time, researchers have observed light spending an "imaginary time" inside a material, a strange phenomenon theorized almost ten years ago but which has never been shown experimentally. Microwave pulses have been injected into a set of cables and have revealed subtle measurable physical changes, previously described in imaginary numbers. Imaginary time is a concept derived from quantum mechanics, describing a temporal dimension diff…
