HOW ORDERED IS TIME?

Time...
(Source: www.ocvote.com, 2013)
Everyone, on default, just start thinking that time is always rigid and will keep moving forward at a constant rate like a uniformly speeding bullet in space. But how true is this?

It's no news again, since special relativity arrived, that time can actually do the following;

1. Slow down (with increase in speed as seen in rockets),
2. Speed up (with increase in altitude as seen in satellites),
3. And come to a halt (when gravity gets as high as infinity as theorized in black holes).

  • But how 'ordered' is time?
  • Can time go back?

ANSWER 1:

Let's take a look at something that happens in the DOUBLE SLIT EXPERIMENT as an example.

First, i have to describe this experiment for everyone to understand.

Title: DOUBLE SLIT EXPERIMENT
Aim: To study the behavior of photons as they travel from one end of a tube to the other.
Description:
1.The Tube used in this experiment has a light source at one end, and a camera at the other end.
2.Between the Light source and the camera, a flat boundary is inserted that has two straight and parallel openings (or slits) through which the photon should pass through.
3.Single photons of light will be shot from the light source to pass through the slits and arrive at the camera.


During the experiment,
-A boundary with just one slit was first used.
RESULT: the photons were observed to pass through the single slit and arrive at the camera randomly - this is normal.

-The experiment was now done again. This time, the boundary with just one slit was now removed and replaced with the one that has a double slit.

EXPECTATION: was that each photon should pass through one of the slits and arrive randomly like normal.

Expected Result
(Source: www.mysearch.org.uk, 2013)
But this was not the result. Read on;

RESULT: an interference pattern was seen on the screen.

Fringes occurs on screen.
This result implies that,
1.each photon interfered with themselves, and
2.passed through both slits at the same time.


THIS MEANS THAT DURING THIS EXPERIMENT, EACH PHOTON ACTUALLY EXISTED AT TWO DIFFERENT PLACES AND AT TWO DIFFERENT TIMES.


That is, time fragmented or separated.
So I ask, How ordered do you think that time is here? was it actually moving uniformly forward? Answer!


ANSWER 2:
Also, it has been proved one paper that time can move backwards with the help of WORMHOLES.

A Wormhole

Wormholes are tiny passage between universe. Manipulating them to get a time tunnel in which both ends exists at two different places with different time is very theoretically possible. In other words, time travelling backwards here, is theoretically possible.

Don't fail to drop your questions and comments.
A very big thanks to Dr. Michio Kaku for his Video on TIME.
Enjoy!
