Scientists observe 'negative time' in quantum experiments
- Researchers at the University of Toronto demonstrated that negative time exists in a tangible, physical sense through quantum experiments.
- The findings have attracted global attention and skepticism but highlight a quirk of quantum mechanics, not a shift in understanding time.
- Steinberg explained that negative time means a duration less than zero, aiming to encourage discussions about quantum physics.
- Sabine Hossenfelder criticized the work, stating that negative time relates to photon travel and phase shifts, not the passage of time.

They measure 'negative time' in an experiment and claim that it is not just a theoretical idea, but a tangible physical reality.
The nature of time is one of the greatest enigmas facing current science. Is it something real and external to us or a mere deception of our mind to put order in reality? Does time flow like a river, continuously and gently, or is it, like matter, divided into individual and independent particles? And, above all, can time flow also into the past and not just into the future?We know that, on paper, scientists can change the direction of time at w…


Quantum Physicists Just Found Evidence of 'Negative Time'
Scientists have long known that light can sometimes appear to exit a material before entering it – an effect dismissed as an illusion caused by how waves are distorted by matter. Now, researchers at the University of Toronto, through innovative quantum experiments, say they have demonstrated that "negative time" isn't just a theoretical idea – it exists in a tangible, physical sense, deserving closer scrutiny.The findings, yet to be publis…
Light that comes out of a material before entering it: “negative time”, the oddity that divides physicists
The concept of “negative weather” has long aroused both fascination and skepticism in the scientific community, but a recent discovery by researchers at the University of Toronto has shown that it is not just a theoretical idea....
A quantum physics experiment prompts divisive claims of proof of 'negative time'
Scientists have long known that light can sometimes appear to exit a material before entering it -- an effect dismissed as an illusion caused by how waves are distorted by matter. Now, researchers at the University of Toronto, through innovative quantum experiments, say they have demonstrated that "negative time" isn't just a theoretical idea --...
