In physics, scientists usually measure events for real time, that is, the time we feel and the seconds and minutes, but when they try to solve very complex problems in domains such as quantum mechanics, mathematical equations are difficult or even impossible to solve.
Here comes the role of imaginative time, which is a mathematical concept presented by British physicist Stephen Hawking, and it depends on imaginary numbers that contain the negative square root 1, and is used in equations and is much easier, and sometimes it reveals new, unclear solutions in real time.
Imagine time does not mean the existence of a “parallel time” or that we live in two types of time, but rather a tool that makes physical equations easier to analyze. Hence, scientists use it not because it is “an unrealistic time”, but rather because it helps to see physical problems from a new angle that makes them simpler or reveal hidden secrets.

Time inside the coxicill
But for the first time, a team of the University of Maryland, led by Isabella Giovanni and Stephen Anj, managed to monitor the effect of imaginative time on a pulse of microbial waves, a type of invisible light (electromagnetic waves), which passes through a substance inside Coxs.
Coxicill is a type of cable or tubes used to transfer electrical signals or electromagnetic waves.
According to the study Which was published in the journal “Vizal Review Litters”, the pulse was sent through a circle made of coxyl, and then measured its exit with the “Osilosop” is very accurate, and a very small delay was observed at the time of traffic, which corresponds to what the imaginative time theory expected.
To understand the idea, imagine that you are sending a bile sound through a straight tunnel, then at the end of the tunnel there is a mirror that reflects the sound to reach you in the form of echo.
In real time, the time difference between the sound version and the resonance to see how late is delayed. But in imaginary time, it adds a “unrealistic” nature of time, measures very accurate effects inside the tunnel that creates an invisible delay in normal conditions, but using advanced experiences that can be monitored its impact.

Is it a real time?
This means that “imaginary time” leaves a real imprint that can be measurable on the passage of electromagnetic waves, but at the same time it does not mean that imaginary time has turned into a real time that we live or it is a parallel time, but the effects resulting from it can be observed in natural phenomena. It is still in a mathematical context, but it leaves a tangible physical impact.
But it is useful in these experiments that this monitoring transforms the imaginary time from just an exciting mathematical idea into a phenomenon that is actually observable, and it can be used to understand how electromagnetic waves are scattered within the materials, and monitoring the accurate effects of communication and transferring information.
Scientists also expect this detection to help improve techniques such as sensors (sensors) and storing data, and it may also explain how information is damaged as it passes through different materials, such as optical fibers and other media.
