summary

This article delves into the concept of time and how it is perceived in the framework of quantum theory. It discusses how traditional understanding of time as a linear, unidirectional flow might be challenged by the concept of superposition, which allows for the coexistence of multiple states. The article explains how time, in the realm of quantum physics, could be viewed as a fluid entity that can flow in multiple directions. It explores various theories and experiments that suggest a non-linear nature of time, including the famous double-slit experiment. The author concludes that further research is needed to fully understand the nature of time in the context of quantum theory.
