"Unveiling Physics' Major Problems: Insights from Accelerating Waves"

TL;DR Summary
Researchers have developed an accelerating wave equation that allows for the modeling of waves in time-varying materials and sheds light on major problems in physics. The equation reveals a well-defined direction of time, known as the "arrow of time," and shows that the momentum of a wave is conserved within a material medium due to relativistic effects. The framework has implications for the conservation of energy and momentum, resolves the Abraham-Minkowski controversy, and provides insights into the behavior of waves in exotic materials.
