Using 24,000 ultracold atoms, a University of Birmingham researcher built an isolated quantum system that repeatedly expands and contracts, mimicking the Big Bang and a possible Big Crunch. Remarkably, the experiment showed that time could emerge from changes happening inside the system, without relying on an external clock.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2026\/10\/261028234703.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" style=\"display:inline-block; padding:12px 26px; background:#0f172a; color:#ffffff; font-weight:700; border-radius:6px; text-decoration:none;\">Read Full Story on Source &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientists have created a miniature universe in the laboratory that could help answer one of the biggest mysteries in physics: What is time, and where does it come from?
