Julian Barbour: Time Flows in Both Directions at the Same Time

  Since it first appeared on the scene, quantum physics has never ceased to amaze. Julian Barbour is a worthy representative of this approach. In fact, for several decades he’s been studying one of the most enigmatic concepts in the universe: time. His theory is fascinating. According to Julian Barbour, time flows both ways at once. Imagine that each direction is an arrow whose origin is zero. While the arrow on the right increases gradually to infinity, the one on the left points to negative infinity. Put more simply, what Julian Barbour is proposing is that there’s a universe in which…
