coastal communities like Los Angeles, Tijuana,
and San Diego. His colleague, Dr. Jillian Maloney,
emphasized the challenges of studying underwater
faults, stating that while earthquakes cannot
be predicted, Understanding fault lines can help
assess potential damage and prepare emergency
services for future events. Now on to sports.

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the
show. Let's talk science. A new study suggests
that at the quantum level, time might be flowing
in reverse without our awareness. Researchers
in England have discovered two arrows of time
in open quantum systems moving in opposite directions.
This finding challenges our understanding of
time's asymmetrical nature. The study indicates
that as energy dissipates into the environment,
time's flow is indicated by entropy, which always
increases. Senior author Andrea Rocco emphasizes
that while this theory does not imply time travel,
it offers a fresh perspective on time's function
in thermodynamics and the universe's creation,
raising intriguing questions about our reality.
Hollywood is facing a challenge as original movies
struggle to attract audiences. Director Christopher
Landon recently warned that it's really hard
out there for an original movie, as his thriller
dropped open to an estimated $7 .5 million. Similarly,
Disney's The Amateur debuted at $15 million.
Despite a push for original ideas, nearly every
recent release based on fresh scripts has disappointed
at the box office. The industry is still recovering
from the pandemic, with many consumers preferring
to wait for films to stream online rather than
attend theaters. Well, alrighty folks, it's time
for the quote of the day. And today, our quote
comes from the Scottish author and reformer,
Samuel Smiles. And he said, Hope is like the
sun, which as we journey toward it, casts the
shadow of our burden behind us. And that's a
wrap for this morning. You can check out our
Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating
aerial videos with local news and the surf reports.
Have an amazing day, my good friends. We'll see
you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings
