The Page-Wootters mechanism (proposed in 1983, experimentally validated by Moreva et al. in 2013-2015) does show that time can emerge from quantum entanglement between subsystems. In their experiments, time exists for observers inside entan

This is a blog post for a science comedy podcast. And yes, in a closed system, time is durational.

Subtly but in this case it’s about Page-Wootters specifically

Entropy definitely gives time a clear arrow/direction (why we remember past but not future), but entropy itself is statistical/emergent from many particles. So we might have time's flow emerging from quantum correlations whil

Caveat, this is a blog post for a science comedy podcast. The actual science is much simpler than that comedic explanation: recent experiments suggest time emerges from quantum entanglement between particles/systems. When quantum syste

Great catch. You're absolutely right, that phrasing was misleading in a way that accidentally privileges consciousness over other physical processes.

I’m surprised there would be any skeletal remains at all after 400+ years. The article is light on science but the original paper mentions Isotopic analysis which is very interesting.

So the same force that makes your hair stand up after rubbing a balloon against your head helps create planets.

We considered building a model for cats, but every time we activated the mic, they blinked slowly, knocked it off the table, and stared at us like we’re the ones who needed retraining.

Counterpoint to your comment: Mechanical calculators were cheaper, more reliable, and well understood. Early computers were bulky, expensive and needed a skilled team to operate, until they transformed everything. Quantum tech may follow th

I find it wild that we’ve been using triangular reckoning (parallax) for over a millennium, all the way back to early mariners. Measure two angles, draw a triangle, know where you are. That same method now maps galaxies. We’re still navigat
