The nature of time has plagued thinkers for as long as we've tried to understand the world we live in. Intuitively, we know what time is, but try to explain it, and we end up tying our minds in knots.

A new theory suggests that time might not be a fundamental aspect of our universe but rather an illusion created by quantum entanglement. Quantum entanglement occurs when particles become interconnected in such a way that the state of one instantly influences the state of another,

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.

Could the observable universe be exclusively composed of layered, mutually entangled systems? The passage of time puzzles quantum physicists, who seek to fit it into a cohesive model. One wild theory posits that time visibly passes because we’re ...

Daylight saving time for 2024 started this weekend, taking an hour from many sleep schedules as the clocks spring forward. In the early morning of Sunday, March 10, the time change took effect. This will give most Americans an extra hour of sunlight in the ...

TIME CEO Jessica Sibley sent the following note to staff on Wednesday: On my first day as CEO—one year ago next week—I laid out our collective vision and strategy for TIME 3.0 with the following goals and priorities: In just 12 months, we've made ...

Until very recently, the question of how the brain works to enable the sense of time passing was an enigma. For many psychological functions researchers agree on basic facts related to how we perceive, think, plan, or orient ourselves in space. But the ...

Before Nov. 18, 1883, more than 100 local times existed across North America. U.S. and Canadian railroads adopted standard time to keep trains — and people — on schedule.

Since 1927, TIME has chosen a Person of the Year, the editors’ assessment of the individual who most shaped the headlines over the previous 12 months, for better or for worse. As a tradition, Person of the Year springs from the Great Man Theory of ...

The term time blindness describes a persistent difficulty in managing time and perceiving how quickly it passes. People who struggle with time blindness may be frequently late, find it difficult to plan their day or meet deadlines, or become easily ...
