TIME MIGHT ONLY EXIST IN YOUR HEAD. AND EVERYONE ELSE'S
Past. Present. Future.
In physics, they are all the same thing. But to you, me, and everyone else, time moves in one direction: from expectation, through experience, and into memory. This linearity is called the arrow of time, and some physicists believe it only progresses that way because humans, and other beings with similar neurological wiring, exist to observe its passing.

Time Might Only Exist In Your Head. And Everyone Else's
To physics, time has no direction. Until you come along and give it a past, present, and future.

What time is it, and why?
At what we might call the most “fundamental” level, the laws of nature do not much care in which direction time flows. Yet from our point of view, as participants in the physical universe, the arrow time is an inescapable and supremely important fact. Put briefly, some things cause other things, and we get old.

What time is it, and why?
The particles of which the universe is made don’t much care which way time goes. But we do, and so do the stars and the planets.

Einstein was right: space and time bend
The early results from Gravity Probe B, one of Nasa's most complicated satellites, confirmed yesterday 'to a precision of better than 1 per cent' the assertion Einstein made 90 years ago - that an object such as the Earth does indeed distort the fabric of space and time.

Einstein was right: space and time bend
Ninety years after he expounded his famous theory, a $700m Nasa probe has proved that the universe behaves as he said. Now the race is on to show that the other half of relativity also works.
