Professor Giovanni Barontni of the University of Birmingham has developed an experimental platform, which he describes as a "mini-universe," designed to test fundamental concepts about the nature of temporality. The study is based on theoretical research in quantum gravity, in particular the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. According to this concept, time is not a primary physical quantity: the universe is represented as a holistic quantum state, devoid…

A research team at the University of Birmingham in the UK conducted an experiment using cold atoms to measure the passage of time without relying on clocks. This research explored the possibility that time is not something given from the outside, but rather arises from internal changes in a closed quantum system.

The researchers have built a "miniuniverse" that shows that it is possible to measure the flow of time without using any clock: the model suggests that the Universe could be understood as a whole without an external clock, in which any sense of time should arise from the internal relations between the parties.

The research, published in Physical Review Research by Professor Giovanni Barontini, has managed to measure the course of time without using any kind of external chronometer, but by defining the parameter based on the changes observed within a system of ultra-cold atoms. The experiment directly addresses a paradox posed by equations such as [...]
