QUANTUM TIME Scientists have built world’s first ‘time machine’ experiment which defies the laws...

Interesting. How do they deal with probabilistic nature quantum mechanics?

[Red Badger]

Good question.............I just wish I knew what it meant...............

[Nifster]

This is a horribly written article. This is not a time machine in any sense of the word or concept. It does not defy the laws of physics. The billiard ball set up is a rouse not even close to a good analogy

You want to defy the laws of physics??? Open a vacuum chamber and watch the atmosphere disappear. Such nonsense

They are supposedly successful half the time. Gee that’s what I want in an info carrier

There is no way for us mortals to step out of the cause-effect continuum.

Genesis 11

6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

Ugh. Gronk’s granddad.

[crusty old prospector]

Great Scott!

“I wonder if this one needs 1.21 jigawatts...”

It probably needs a few billion dollars.

[frank ballenger]

they had effectively created a state which went against the ‘direction of time’
Doesn’t socialism do that already?

Funny one.

Why aren’t Bernie, AOC and the millennials laughing?
No sense of humor. Thankfully they are not in total power in 2019.

[frank ballenger]

Trump could use that machine to go back in time and pick anybody other than Sessions for AG.

Love it.

Imagine DJT saying “Jeff, we need you right where you are in the Senate for now. Without you a special election might get the Dems a seat in Alabama.” Then no Mueller appointed. Grumbling by out of power Dems but nothing gets an investigation going.
Except the one the new AG sets up to investigate transfer of Uranium and certain security info. on hard drives in Chappaqua.
Hate to wake up from that dream.

"You want to defy the laws of physics??? Open a vacuum chamber and watch the atmosphere disappear...."

Which is why the moon was recently declared as being "part of the earth's atmosphere"... (NASAgiggle)

[Paal Gulli]

"If it worked, then it DIDN’T defy all the laws of physics. Obviously it meant that we didn’t get the laws of physics right...."

Well, since this is coming from the UK Sun and not The Journal of Quantum Physics, my money is on C. It's being misreported.

Uncle Rico will be happy.

Sometimes folks just go nuts

Quantum bits (or qubits) in a quantum computer could be a one, a zero, or both at the same time Think of a giant pole...

Maybe those Egyptians were ON to something. Heliopolis.

What did Bernini know and when did he know it?

wiki: "The obelisk was originally erected at Heliopolis, Egypt, by an unknown pharaoh..."

Heliopolis (wiki):

"Its native name was I͗wnw ("The Pillars"), whose exact pronunciation is uncertain because ancient Egyptian recorded only consonantal values. Its traditional Egyptological transcription is Iunu but it appears in biblical Hebrew as Ôn (אן) and Āwen (און), leading some scholars to reconstruct its pronunciation as *Āwanu. Variant transcriptions include Awnu and Annu."

Because, well then there's that "cipher decipherer" name, where the word key (Hebrew mafte'ach) appears as the last letters of the name phrase in bold:

Genesis 41:45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Osnat the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.

Zero = cipher.

It goes ON. Puns for the win!

But researchers managed to make them reform in their original order — looking as if they were turning back time.

My socks drawer goes back in time every time I reorganize them.

"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it’s more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff."

In before they figure out how to use this for porn...

[Tucker39]

After the break, did the scattered balls physically regroup into the triangular form they had before the break, at the correct spot on the table? Did the cue ball return to its original spot. Or did a resulting video of the break merely reverse itself and merely DEPICT such a scene? All the difference in the world.

[InterceptPoint]

”Billiard balls do not scatter in a "haphazard way". They move in an entirely predictably way, IF you could precisely define the exact properties of ALL of the environment. Factors like ball curvatures and three axis stiffnesses at the points of contact, ball spacings, table friction and stiffness, path direction and ball spin, etc. all effect the paths, making the final result appear to be "haphazard". Knowing all of these properties, would make it possible to calculate the paths backward to reestablish the original shape. It would not make TIME go backward, it would just make a calculation of the ball position "go backward".

I agree. And that is what they probably did but with imperfect knowledge of the state of their system.

Idiocracy
