New research suggests that the very structure of space-time may be an emergent phenomenon, arising from the entanglement of quantum information. This challenges our fundamental understanding of gravity and the universe.
Physicists suggest time may not be a fundamental aspect of reality but an emergent property from quantum entanglement. A study published in Physical Review A proposes the Page and Wootters mechanism, where time emerges through the entanglement between a clock and the system it measures, offering a potential resolution to the inconsistency of time in quantum mechanics and general relativity.
