Due to tidal friction from the sun and moon, the solar day is lengthening by 1.7 milliseconds each century as the Earth’s rotation slows down. In other words, time on Earth is actually slowing down.

Like all good things in life, time will end one day as well. Physicists have calculated that time is likely to end within the next four billion years due to a catastrophe that no one alive at the time will witness.

Time moves faster in the sky. This happens because the denser the gravitational field, the slower the passage of time. This means that a second at lower altitudes is actually nanoseconds longer than a second at higher altitudes—for example, when you fly on an airplane.

A new study published in Nature Physics appears to show that time in fact may move backward and things may exist in multiple states. What could this mean? The future can affect and change the past.

Lastly, keep in mind that there’s no such thing as “now” as far as physics is concerned. Space and time are fluid, affected by gravity and your speed. Einstein put it like this: “For us physicists, the distinction between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however persistent.”
