Quantum Time : Across...

Ecnal Ver

What If Time Is Not What We Think?
What if everything you have been taught about time is wrong? What if time does not move in one steady line, the same for everyone, but instead bends, shifts, or even disappears depending on where you are in the universe? Quantum Time takes you on a fascinating journey into the strange world of quantum physics to explore one of the greatest mysteries of existence: time itself.
Time in Daily Life vs. the Quantum World
In everyday life, time feels simple. Seconds tick forward. Clocks keep us on schedule. We grow older. But in the quantum world, none of this is guaranteed. At the smallest scale of reality, time may not even exist the way we think it does. Instead, it may be something that only appears when particles interact, a fragile construct that changes depending on the universe or multiverse you are in.
A Radical New View of Time
This audiobook challenges the traditional idea that time is an absolute force. Instead, it presents a bold new view. Time may be local, appearing only through the behavior and arrangement of particles. That means different regions of the cosmos or even parallel universes could each experience time in completely different ways. In some cases, time may even loop, pause, or move backward.
Where Physics Meets Consciousness
From black holes to quantum entanglement, Quantum Time explores how the deepest mysteries of physics connect with human consciousness and reality. It asks whether the mind itself may play a role in shaping how we experience past, present, and future.
An Invitation to Rethink Reality
If you are fascinated by science, philosophy, or metaphysics, Quantum Time offers a thought-provoking journey that will forever change the way you see the ticking clock.
