What did Fitch's work prove about subatomic reactions?
They occur instantaneously
They favor time symmetry
They're indifferent to time
They're not indifferent to time
Answer
Time plays a crucial role in subatomic reactions, as evidenced by Fitch's work. Contrary to earlier beliefs of symmetry between time directions, he demonstrated a distinct preference for one direction. This phenomenon, known as time asymmetry, challenges the notion of time indifference and has profound implications for our understanding of the fundamental forces that govern the universe's subatomic interactions.
