Notes
- 1.
The observation was made by two teams of scientists, from the CERN of Geneva (CPLEAR experiments) and the Fermilab of Chicago (KTeV experiements), respectively. Such observations, which became significant only at the end of the 1990s, regard processes that occur in the sector of K mesons (Kaons) and their antiparticles (anti-Kaons) and would seem to demonstrate for the first time that matter “distinguishes” (at the microscopic level) between past and future inasmuch as there was observed a violation of symmetry (invariance) by temporal inversion. The result contradicts the conviction expressed by Einstein that time at the subatomic level does not exist.
