Scientists at the Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany have discovered evidence of time running backwards. Although this discovery was made at the microscopic level, it opens up the unknown that was previously in the realm of science fiction.

A study by two experts in the field, Till Böhmer and Thomas Blochowicz, titled "Time-reversibility during the aging of materials" was published in Nature Physics. Indy100.com writes about what exactly the scientists, who concentrated their observations on the properties of glass, managed to find out.

The study, which was published in 2023, aroused interest in the scientific community as it led to new reflections on the nature of time and the possibility of its travel.

In the process of studying glass, it became clear that the material they chose to study - glass - does not behave in a linear fashion.

In simple terms, scientists studied glass and found that its molecules were constantly changing their positions, as if time was going "backwards" at the molecular level. They used special instruments to observe these changes. This means that the glass seems to be "stirring" inside itself. However, scientists do not know whether this is going forward or backward.

"The slightest vibrations of the molecules had to be recorded with an ultra-sensitive video camera. You can't just watch the molecules swing," Prof. Blochowicz said.

This research does not mean that we can travel through time, but it does change our understanding of how some of the materials we interact with work.

However, the scientists also note that their study rules out the possibility of reverse time travel for creatures as it confirms the concept of unidirectional time in the universe.
