Time can become quantum

They have discovered something very amazing, time can become quantum, how is this possible? Imagine a stopwatch that measures time very slowly and very quickly, but at the same time, that is, at the same time it is going at high speed and very slowly. If you had that stopwatch in your hand, you would see its hands as if blurred, wrapped in a fog of indeterminacy and until you pressed the stop button, you would not know the exact time that the watch measured, which could be seconds or hours, although for you a minute could have passed.

Any result is possible, although it will always be positive, this stopwatch can go faster or slower at the same time, but never backwards, this research shows that time itself is in quantum superposition, this discovery was achieved using ionic clocks, which are an advanced version of atomic clocks, what happens is that they use ions, ions are atoms, atoms, any type of atom, with an electric charge instead of neutral atoms.

This makes ion clocks currently the most precise in the world, the hands of a stopwatch are very romantic, but what type of clocks are we really talking about, a perfect example is the yterbium ion ion clock of the PTP in Germany, this type of clocks are ultra precise, they are exactly the ones that the researchers propose to use to verify the quantum effects of proper time that they describe in their article, that moment in which time reaches a quantum state.

This particular German clock reached a world record precision in 2016, it would only go back one second every approximately 10,000 million years, thanks to this, researchers can measure extremely small time scales and that is when they realized that time in the smallest things begins to act strangely, when the clock measures very small fractions, the clock itself obeys quantum mechanics and enters into quantum superposition, it is almost the same as the case of Schrödinger's cat, in its box it could be alive or dead at the same time, we wouldn't know until we opened the box.

In the clock, in the quantum world, it moves faster and slower, but also at the same time, and we would not know if it had measured time very fast or very slowly until we measured it directly. This is not the first time that it has been discovered that time is flexible and not only on a quantum scale, on a large scale, on our scale, it is also flexible in Einstein's rectivity, proper time, which is the time measured by a moving relaxation, depends on speed and gravity. The faster you go, the slower time passes. This is what is called time dilation and the greater the gravity, the slower time will also pass and this produces curious effects and it is not necessary to go inside a black hole to check it, for example, on the Moon, on the Moon time passes a little faster than on Earth, since on the Moon it has a gravity six times less than Earth's, I warn you that it is not a huge difference either.

If you had a twin brother and he went to live on a base on the Moon after 50 years, you who stayed on Earth would be a second younger than your twin on the Moon, who would be a second older than you.

Could this be done in a more extreme way, a more brutal dilation? of course, but you would need a ship that traveled almost at the speed of light, if you manage to reach 99% or more of the speed of light for a year, according to your ship's clock, inside the ship your biology has added a year of time, when you return to Earth thousands of years could have passed; Carl Sagan, in the series Cosmos, gave as an example a trip to the center of the Milky Way, at more than 99% of the speed of light, that trip, at that speed, would last only 21 years for the ship's crew, while on Earth 30,000 years would have passed.

Furthermore, Carl Sagan calculated that by continuously accelerating for 28 years at a G, that is, the same gravity of the Earth, which by the way would allow you to stand calmly in the ship feeling the same Earth's gravity, accelerating at that 1G for 28 years and then spending another 28 years braking at the same rate of a G, the crew of the ship could go around the entire known universe, in just 56 years of time inside the ship, but outside it would have been tens of thousands of millions of years.

The Earth would no longer exist when they returned, time is flexible on a human scale and also on a cosmic scale, but in this research it is shown that time is also flexible on a very small scale, time even becomes quantum and begins to suffer phenomena that seem to go against the logic or logic of our macroscopic world.
