2024年10月15日 · Time has always existed, but hundreds of thousands of years ago, when ancient humans became capable of abstract thinking, they began to use time actively. Based on the path of the Sun across the sky and the changing seasons, they could determine when it was best to hunt or stockpile.

Time is one of the seven fundamental physical quantities in both the International System of Units (SI) and International System of Quantities. The SI base unit of time is the second, which is defined by measuring the electronic transition frequency of caesium atoms.

2018年5月31日 · What we call “time” is a complex collection of structures, of layers. Under increasing scrutiny, in ever-greater depth, time has lost layers one after another, piece by piece. Let’s begin with a simple fact: Time passes faster in the mountains than it does at sea level.

2022年4月5日 · Time is the apparent progression of events from past to future. While it's impossible to completely define the nature of time, we all share many common experiences bound by time: Causes lead...

Time is a measure of non-stop, consistent change in our surroundings, usually from a specific viewpoint. While the concept of time is self-evident and intuitive – the steady passing of events before our eyes; the orbit of the Moon around our planet – …

2025年1月11日 · Time feels intrinsic to our existence, but physicists argue that it might not exist in any fundamental sense. Our perception of time as a sequence of events—past, present, and future—is deeply ingrained. Yet, Dr. Carlo Rovelli, a pioneer in …

2023年11月12日 · We're starting our ultimate guide with 11 mind-bending facts about the physics, psychology and history of time, plucked from the BBC Future archive. Read on to learn why there's more to time...

2024年12月26日 · Time - Measurement, Perception, Relativity: Accuracy in specifying time is needed for civil, industrial, and scientific purposes. Although defining time presents difficulties, measuring it does not; it is the most accurately measured physical quantity.

As a general definition, time is the continued sequence of existence and events that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, into the future. Brian...

2024年2月29日 · Time is all around us: in the language we use, in the memories we revisit and in our predictions of the future. But what exactly is it? The physicist and Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek joins Steve Strogatz to discuss the fundamental hallmarks of time.

Our World Is Filled With Fungal Spores. Some Should Frighten Us. I Spent My Life Saving the Whales. Now They Might Save Us. Over 50 years ago Roger Payne discovered that whales sing. Now he has an...

2011年9月1日 · Time organizes the universe into an ordered series of moments, and thank goodness; what a mess it would be if reality were complete different from moment to moment. The real question is whether or not time is fundamental, or perhaps emergent.

2005年4月15日 · The concept of time is self-evident. An hour consists of a certain number of minutes, a day of hours and a year of days. But we rarely think about the fundamental nature of time, says one...

2022年12月15日 · Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology track time with atomic clocks. But what is time, really? Physicists are still trying to answer that question.

2015年7月15日 · Scientists are exploring new ideas about timekeeping in our brains, the evolution of biological clocks and time’s direction in the universe. Time, as the late physicist John …

3 天之前 · Dominik Koll, a postdoctoral researcher with TUD Dresden University of Technology, was searching for signs of stardust in the ferromanganese crust at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.Instead, he noticed an anomaly: an accumulation of twice as much Beryllium-10 (10Be) dating back 10 million years than expected. The rare radioactive isotope produced by cosmic …

6 天之前 · The giant, 40-ft. space telescope resting in the airtight, climate-controlled clean-room at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., wants nothing to do with the microscopic dust ...

2022年12月16日 · Researchers say time is an illusion. So why are we all obsessed with it? Scientists at the National Institute for Standards and Technology are developing ever-smaller and more accurate clocks.

4 天之前 · Some so-called academic publications (including PRL, PNAS, Nature, Science, etc.) are addicted to their own small circles and have deviated from science for a long time. As the background of various material interactions and movements, …

From theory to evidence . Ripples in space-time, known as gravitational waves, were first predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916. But they wouldn't be confirmed until 2015, when the U.S. National Science Foundation Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (NSF LIGO) detected the waves created by the collision of black holes 1.3 million light-years from Earth.

2025年1月8日 · Time isn’t nearly as immutable as it first seems. Ask any astrophysicist, and they’ll likely regale you with mind-bending descriptions of a gravity’s effect on space-time (i.e. the more ...

2024年9月10日 · A powerful laser generates ultraviolet light as it shines into a jet of gas. For a nuclear clock to work in a new study, scientists used UV light to excite nuclear particles in an atom of thorium-229.

6 天之前 · We study a novel language model architecture that is capable of scaling test-time computation by implicitly reasoning in latent space. Our model works by iterating a recurrent block, thereby unrolling to arbitrary depth at test-time. This stands in contrast to mainstream reasoning models that scale up compute by producing more tokens. Unlike approaches based …
