"Experimental physicist Daniela Angulo poses with an apparatus in the physics lab at the University of Toronto."

Half-breed nog/mex who lets a (((berg))) speak for her in the entire article.

My guess is she's just there for the photo and the quota.

>"We don't want to say anything traveled backward in time," Steinberg said. "That's a misinterpretation.” The explanation lies in quantum mechanics, where particles like photons behave in fuzzy, probabilistic ways rather than following strict rules. Instead of adhering to a fixed timeline for absorption and re-emission, these interactions occur across a spectrum of possible durations—some of which defy everyday intuition.

So it’s real-world thiotimoline. Holy shit.

This isn't really anything new. The double split experiment back in the 70's showed that shit does weird shit sometimes.

But that’s “just” simultaneity across space; this is a *causal* aberration. There’s an entirely different subset of interactions we can exploit here.

No, looking at the Scientific American article from it (and I spent as little as time reading that as possible) here's what is happening. (Anyone with a good grade in QM will understand what is being said here.)

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/evidence-of-negative-time-found-in-quantum-physics-experiment/

The experiment has two possibilities: A or B. If A, then you see X. If B, then you should see Y and then Z.

They noticed that Y and Z are occurring before and after each other. It looks like time is reversed!

But that's not what happens in the quantum world.

In the quantum world, BOTH A and B happen. When you measure Y or Z, then you expect to see the other value two, but it is the measurement itself which CAUSES the "decision" between A and B.

When you consider the total quantum state of BOTH A and B happening, and consider how Y and Z are measured, and realize that Z and X are similar events, then everything makes sense.

It's just quantum stuff being quantum. The quantum world doesn't work like the world we are familiar with. Everything happens all the time. Stuff doesn't appear until you look at it, and then that causes only one of the universe of possibilities to appear. The observation is part of the experiment, in short.

It's not too surprising, just weird. Like some chemical reaction that makes a pretty color.
