Researchers have found that computations may require less memory than previously thought, with a new study suggesting that a calculation of X steps requires only the square root of X log X memory slots.
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.
An exploration of the importance of time in distributed databases and systems, discussing logical clocks, physical clocks, synchronization, and their implications on event ordering and consistency.
A program called rusage.com that reports richer resource usage statistics than the traditional UNIX time command, with examples and use cases for optimizing performance
This article argues for bridging the gap between analytic and phenomenological philosophy to gain new insights into the fundamental structure of reality. It suggests that phenomenology, with its focus on the structure of experience, can offer valuable perspectives on questions like the nature of time and quantum mechanics.
This article discusses the implementation of a procedure for defining time using entangled systems according to the Page and Wootters approach. The authors study how quantum dynamics transform into classical-like behavior and analyze the relations that must hold between quantities of the system and the clock for the overall picture to represent physical dynamics.
Date and time classes for Arduino supporting the IANA TZ Database time zones to convert epoch seconds to date and time components in different time zones.
