Scientists have reversed the direction of time with a quantum computer; breakthrough study

Time to dust off the old DeLorean

Quantum everything is fucking mind blowing.

I know that the double slit experiment showed that particles can actually go back and change to waves depending on observation. So it’s known that “time” isn’t exactly what we think it is.

This seems like an interesting development. Anyone know the time taken to complete the process? If it was instantaneous, that would indeed be quite amazing.

It wouldn't be instantaneous.

Yeah, but who the hell is gonna click on THAT headline?

They haven't reversed the direction of time, they reversed an extremely difficult sequence. (Unless I'm too dumb to understand this)

Thanks poindexters, Terminators incoming for sure now.

 

[Joe265]

So they made time reverse on a computer program? I don't get it.

 

[POWER2]

Anyone watching the computer would see the event as if time had turned backwards.

 

[Joe265]

It doesn't really matter how many times it was reproduced. If you can do it once with a computer, then you can do it.

Is that a real rule, or an assumption?

 

[YourOnlineHero]

Making things act in reverse =/= reversing time.

 

[misterfurious]

Pfffft...this guy was way ahead of them

At long last, humanity shall be able to answer the great question that has plagued us throughout the entirety of our existence:

Spoiler

What times are it?

 

[hiphopnazi]

Huge, if true.

I have a degree in electronic and electrical engineering, so I’m both clever and practical, but quantum physics is some seriously bizarre shit.

Wait -- You didn't have to do ANY quantum classes as part of an EE degree? What coconut college does that? The entire area of solid state electronics is related to solid state physics which is very limited without QM. No physical optics or fiber optics?

I took 2 QM classes in ugrad and another in grad school as part of my EE degrees.

 

[COHAB]

So when is now?

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

I had deja Vu 3 times yesterday. I think this related somehow

 

[Hurricane Brad]

A time traveling computer, eh? Now I need one for gaming to reverse all my bullshit losses and get preemptive revenge on all those jerks who would have made me rage in an alternate timeline.

I think the next monumental breakthrough in the healthcare field is Time Delineation and how we can manipulate the brain and body into thinking it's getting more sleep than what it actually happening in reality.

 

[2fast2furious]

Interdasting...

I went forward in time with my phone once and got extra turns on Candy Crush. I also, altered reality when I went forward in time with my phone to get extra turns on Candy Crush and when I went back in time, I still had the extra turns.

But this is cool too.
