• Scientists from South Africa analyzed the mathematics of neutron stars and found that extreme gravity can create a separate arrow of time moving in the opposite direction.
  • The research results were published in the European Physical Journal C.
  • Models showed that epoch functions associated with gravitational collapse gradually decrease, indicating a local decrease in entropy and a possible reverse flow of time.
  • The researchers mathematically placed an unstable neutron star in a spacetime model and tracked changes in key parameters.
  • Gravitational entropy favors matter clustering, while classical entropy tends to disperse; extreme gravity can shift the balance between them.
