Great discovery. It might only be particles for now, but time traveling might become a reality.

If it worked, I expect to see the university winning a lot more lotteries.

Time travel, in theory is possible. I can't quite remeber the details. But it involes proping open a wormhole with exotic matter. And you can only travel between times that have the device.

So if I made a device in 1991, the furthest back in time I could go is 1991. But exotic matter is difficult to control we are not 100% sure wormholes exist, and I wansn't even born in 1991.

I'd be more in awe if this was about sending information to the bonded pair in the past.

We already know how to travel to the future - it's called existing. We already have a theoretical macroscopic time-machine to the future - it's called "travelling at fractioncal light-speed velocities".

Cool? Yes.

Groundbreaking? Perhaps.

Useful? Well...

"Now, hold on to your plutonium-proof underpants. This doesn't mean we are going to the 24-and-a-half century driving Mr. Fusion-powered DeLoreans. Their discovery shows that entangled quantum particles can travel into the future without actually being present during the time between now and the future."


"Before, we knew that quantum teleportation works in space. Two identical particles at different locations are linked in such a way that, when you change the state of one, the other one instantly changes in exactly the same way, no matter how many miles or light-years are between them. This is a phenomenon that defies our understanding of reality, and it just got even more complex with this discovery."

I have heard about this before and it blows my mind!

Seriously, find out how this works, apply it to a 1963 Police Box and give me a call!

Gotta love quantum physics, undoing everything we learned with Newtonian physics sofar.

But it does intrigue me how do you prove the theory works?
You cannot monitor both present and future, so how do you know it really works...

Man, The thought of Quantum Entanglement gives me a headache. I'd love to understand it but damn that's some next level shit!

 

[Wolfram23]

But there's a twist. Olson and Ralph show that the detection of the qubit in the future must be symmetric in time with its creation in the past. "If the past detector was active at a quarter to 12:00, then the future detector must wait to become active at precisely a quarter past 12:00 in order to achieve entanglement," they say. For that reason, they call this process "teleportation in time".

Does not compute. Earth is moving. If the particle "disappears" at a specific spot then that spot will instantly get left behind in space... and by the time the Earth gets back to that spot, the particle will never pass through the exact spot it dissapeared because the Earth's orbit is shifting ever so slightly.

This just in:

Scientists discover rethorics: Who needs to actually make happen what one wishes to happen? Just redefine terms, to achieve the same... not.

Entanglement, gotta love it (And it's not really that hard to understand... or do I just have a mutant brain?)

And yeah, I really want to see bets going on over what the first... public time machine will be, car or police box.

I'd like the police box.

It sounds really awesome, but as I read the article the only thing going through my mind was "durrr so confused nurrrrr"

Quantom stuff. Not many people get it anyway.

But here's a cool fact I learned. And it's easy to understand. Looking up at the night sky is one way you can achieve looking into the past.

Those stars are lightyears away, meaning it took the light of that star many years before reaching your eyes. When you see those stars, your actually looking at something that happened many years ago because it took that long for the light to reach your eyes. IT'S SCIENCE

This is why i love science. It's everywhere and amazing

I love it just by looking into the sky i can look into the past anywhere from seconds to millenniums into the past
