For example, when light is incident on an interface, the standard wave equation is satisfied on both sides. To analytically solve such a problem, one would first find what the wave looks like at either side of the interface, and then employ electromagnetic boundary conditions to link the two sides together. This is called a piecewise continuous solution.
“The solution didn’t seem to make any sense. Then it dawned on me that it behaves in ways that are reminiscent of relativistic effects,” Koivurova recounts. This is the difference between ‘macroscopic’ and ‘microscopic’ arrows of time: while entropy defines the direction of time for large systems unambiguously, nothing fixes the direction of time for single particles.
What allows the conservation of momentum are relativistic effects. “We found that we can ascribe a ‘proper time’ to the wave, which is entirely analogous to the proper time in the general theory of relativity,” Ornigotti says.
