Weird New #Quantum #Experiment Sounds Suspiciously Like Time Travel

…"A negative time delay may seem #paradoxical, but what it means is that if you built a #quantum #clock to measure how much time atoms are spending in the excited state, the clock hand would, under certain circumstances, move backward rather than forward"… Josiah Sinclair from the #University of #Toronto. [Movement known as #retrograde.]

Evidence of ‘Negative Time’ Found in #QuantumPhysics Experiment

Physicists showed that #photons can seem to exit a material before entering it, revealing observational evidence of #negativetime.

…"by the team’s experiments, these values can encompass instances when an individual #photon’s transit time is instantaneous—or, bizarrely, when it concludes before the #atomic excitation has ceased, which gives a negative value"…
