Time existed before the Big Bang
Time's existence pre-Big Bang challenges time as an illusion in the block universe theory. Lee Cronin argues for time's fundamental nature, refuting timelessness beliefs. He emphasizes time's unidirectional flow, questioning physicists' emergent time views.

The article discusses the concept of time existing before the Big Bang, challenging the idea that time is an illusion within the block universe theory. Lee Cronin, a chemistry professor, argues that time is a fundamental aspect of reality, contrary to the belief that the universe exists in a timeless state. He suggests that studying the nature of novelty in life sciences could support the idea of time fundamentalism. Cronin highlights the misconception among physicists that time is emergent and can be traveled in both directions, emphasizing that empirical evidence only supports time moving forward. The article delves into the complexity of understanding time and its role in the universe, questioning the traditional view of time's relationship with cosmic origins.

Einstein and his peers were 'irrationally resistant' to black holes
Physicists, including Einstein, initially resisted the concept of black holes due to their strangeness and implications of singularities. Despite early skepticism, the existence of black holes has been confirmed, reshaping cosmic understanding.
The surprising behavior of black holes in an expanding universe
Physicist Nikodem Popławski's study reveals black hole behavior in an expanding universe. Einstein's equations suggest a constant expansion rate at black hole event horizons, challenging previous assumptions and shedding light on the Hubble tension. Popławski's work hints at a link between black holes, wormholes, and dark energy.
Einstein and his peers were 'irrationally resistant' to black holes
Albert Einstein and peers initially resisted black hole concepts. Despite theoretical roots dating back a century, acceptance came in the 1960s with observational support. Einstein's work laid the foundation, but reluctance persisted due to clashes between evidence and personal beliefs.
Nuclear spectroscopy breakthrough could rewrite fundamental constants of nature
Breakthrough in nuclear spectroscopy at UCLA enhances atomic clock precision using thorium-229 nucleus excited by laser in fluorine-rich crystal. Research by Prof. Eric Hudson could redefine fundamental constants and improve deep space technology.
