Understanding Time and Black Holes

What is the primary reason scientists believe time flows in one direction?

• The laws of physics explicitly state it.

• The universe is expanding.

• Statistical arguments based on increasing entropy.

• Time travel is impossible.

What is the three-body problem?

• A problem involving two bodies orbiting each other.

• A scenario where three bodies interact in a stable manner.

• A complex problem with no single analytic solution for three interacting bodies.

• A situation where three bodies move in predictable orbits.

What was the outcome when researchers reversed the simulation of black holes?

• The black holes ended up in completely different orbits 5% of the time.

• The black holes retraced their original paths perfectly.

• The black holes disappeared from the simulation.

• The black holes collided and merged.

What is the Planck Length?

• The smallest meaningful measurement in quantum mechanics.

• The largest possible measurement in quantum mechanics.

• A unit of time used in physics.

• A measurement that changes with relativity.

What does the n-body problem refer to?

• A scenario with more than three bodies interacting chaotically.

• A problem involving two bodies in stable orbits.

• A situation where bodies move in a straight line.

• A problem with a single solution for multiple bodies.
