“My colleague’s calculations suggest that neutrinos may have a greater impact on time than we realise,” said Streed.
This means that one of the test clocks near the reactor, may show some time dilation, or difference in elapsed time, when compared with a clock a short distance away. The theory predicts that the time accumulated by a clock depends on the amount of time violation in its local region.Ī clock placed near the reactor core is predicted to lose synchronicity with the more distant clock. The experiment will test the theory because anti-neutrinos produced by the reactor represent a time violation field that has an inverse square law fall-off with distance from the core. The evidence that neutrinos exhibit time symmetry violation has been growing in recent years and currently stands at 99.7% certainty. The OPAL reactor produces a vast stream of anti-neutrinos that move unscathed through matter as they interact only extremely weakly with it.

It is revolutionary because if it is correct, it will overturn the way we think about time and space, as well as fundamental laws, such as the conservation of mass. The theory proposes that the dynamics we observe everywhere as changes occurring over time are not fundamental parts of nature but emerge phenomenologically due to time symmetry violations. Vaccaro is an accomplished theoretical physicist, who has developed a fundamental theory that puts time and space on the same footing. With support from the National Measurement Institute (NMI), A/Prof Erik Streed needed a source of anti-neutrinos and some atomic clocks to carry out a preliminary experiment that would test the validity of a new quantum theory of time being developed by his Griffith University colleague Professor Joan Vaccaro. Griffith University researchers are conducting an experiment at ANSTO that will test a revolutionary physics theory that time reversal symmetry-breaking by neutrinos might cause a time dilation at the quantum scale.
