Reminded of how there’s only one time zone in China, even though it’s at least as long as the U.S. When the sun reaches its zenith in Beijing, it’s officially noon everywhere.
In this experiment, which was published May 25 in Nature Physics, the researchers sent a single atom down a path through a grating pattern formed by laser beams. This is similar to the solid grating used to scatter light. If the atom acted like a particle it would travel in a straight line. As a wave, though, the atom would produce the interference bands seen with light passing through double slits.
In addition, the researchers randomly added a second laser grating. They found that when this was present, the atoms created the wavelike interference pattern. When the second grating was not there, the atoms behaved like particles and traveled along a single path.
However, whether or not the second grating was added was determined only after the atom had made it through the first crossroads. The wave-like or particle-like behavior of the atom only came into existence when the researchers measured it after it had completed its journey.
This, says Truscott, shows that “a future event causes the photon to decide its past.”
I tried to take a train to Morrow, but the Ticketmaster told me I couldn’t go to Morrow any more today. So I asked him if I could go to Morrow tomorrow. He told me I could go to Morrow tomorrow, but I couldn’t go today. I asked him why and he answered “Because the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon it’s way”…

If it weren’t for time, everything would happen right now and then it would all be over.

Time.. is only a sequence of memories of the past… associated with a clock or calendar to give them a degree of order.

Just an experiment, that needs to be replicated…
So nothing has been proved yet….

At least time zones were all about the trains
