Could Everything We Know About Time Be Wrong?

A groundbreaking study from the University of Surrey suggests that time may not be as linear as traditionally thought, proposing that certain quantum systems can exhibit dual arrows of time, flowing both forward and backward. Published in _Scientific Reports_, the research challenges the conventional understanding of time's irreversibility, indicating that time might be moving in reverse around us without our awareness. Lead author Dr. Andrea Rocco explains that while everyday experiences, like spilled milk, clearly illustrate time moving forward, other processes, such as a pendulum's motion, appear equally plausible in reverse. This discovery could transform our understanding of thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and the universe's origins, highlighting that at the subatomic level, the laws of physics do not inherently favor a single direction of time. The study emphasizes the complexity of time's nature, particularly in the context of open quantum systems interacting with their environments. sources

Karnataka Muslims Protest J&K Attack, Seek to Prevent Unrest

In Karnataka's Tumkur, a large group of Muslims protested against a recent terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir that left 26 people dead, condemning it as an attempt to incite communal unrest. Eyewitnesses reported that the attackers targeted individuals based on their religion, using the 'Kalima' as a test before executing victims, highlighting the attack's intentionality. Protesters outside a mosque expressed solidarity with the victims' families, stating that the assault was an attack on the nation, irrespective of religion. Organisers called for the harshest punishment for the terrorists, branding them as traitors. Similar demonstrations occurred in Madhya Pradesh, where anti-Pakistan slogans were raised. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi urged Muslims to wear black bands during Friday prayers to signify unity against terrorism.

Ex-Official Explains Impact of Indus Waters Treaty Suspension on Pakistan

India has several options to impact Pakistan while the Indus Waters Treaty remains suspended, according to Kushvinder Vohra, former Chairman of the Central Water Commission. With the treaty in abeyance, India is no longer required to share information on water storage or river flow with Pakistan, which could significantly affect its water management. Following the killing of 26 tourists by Pakistan-linked terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir, India halted treaty obligations, including updates on flood situations during monsoon seasons. Vohra noted that India could also revoke the treaty if Pakistan's stance does not improve. The Indus Waters Treaty, signed in 1960, governs the use of six rivers, allocating eastern rivers to India and western rivers to Pakistan, while allowing India to generate hydroelectricity under specific conditions. Regular meetings between the two countries' commissioners, however, have been disrupted, including a planned meeting in March 2020 due to the pandemic. sources

Army Nursing College Website Hacked After Pahalgam Attack

The Army College of Nursing's website was hacked by a group known as Team Insane PK, just days after a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. This cyber intrusion follows India’s announcement of punitive measures against Pakistan, including the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and the expulsion of Pakistani defense advisors from New Delhi. In retaliation, Pakistan declared it would suspend bilateral agreements and close its airspace to Indian airlines. The hackers left a provocative message on the college's website, referencing the two-nation theory. The Army College, managed by the Army Welfare Education Society, will seek assistance from the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) to address the breach. Team Insane PK has a history of cyber attacks on Indian entities, including notable incidents during the 2023 G20 summit and a 2024 attack on the restaurant chain Burger Singh over a controversial promotion. sources

In an all-party meeting convened by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Home Minister Amit Shah, the Opposition expressed serious concerns regarding the recent Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 civilian lives.
