As physicists grapple with reconciling quantum mechanics and relativity, the very concept of time is being redefined. For developers and engineers, this deep dive into the physics of time reveals profound implications for how we model reality in our most advanced systems.

For a century, quantum mechanics has been mired in paradoxes stemming from the role of 'observers' and the nature of reality. Physicist Vlatko Vedral proposes a revolutionary framework where observers, particles, and even spacetime are illusions, replaced by fundamental quantum fields described by 'q-numbers.' This perspective not only resolves longstanding contradictions but also paves the way for groundbreaking experiments that could redefine our understanding of the universe.

Vienna researchers develop calculus-free methods to handle singularities and non-smooth space-times, strengthening foundational theorems about black holes and the Big Bang while paving the way for quantum gravity.
