Quote:
Can the past be changed by the FUTURE? Bizarre quantum experiment suggests time can run backwards

Your past influences your present which changes your future. But if time were like space, shouldn't the future also influence the past and the present? A remarkable new study suggests that it just might – and the evidence has been shown in the world of quantum mechanics.

Professor Kater Murch at Washington University has found that by knowing the future outcome of a particle, its state in the past is altered.
Without knowing the information, the state is more likely to remain the same.
In other words, knowing future events can change the past.

Didn't they prove in 2038 A.D. that theory was full of shit?
And yet, here they are now proposing it anyway. :ohno:

I really wonder just how the experiment in the original post was done.

Before answering the ad above, I'd want to know the period and location they were proposing to go back to. It would help in knowing what weapons to take. And whether to go in the first place--if we were heading to, say, Normandy in June 1944, I don't think it would be possible to come well-armed enough.

Well, many many years ago, when he was 23,
He was married to a widow who was pretty as could be
The widow had a grown up daughter who had hair of red
His father fell in love with her, and soon they too were wed
This made his dad his son-in-law and changed his very life
For his daughter was his mother cuz she was his father's wife

To complicate the matters even though it brought him joy
He soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy
The little baby was a brother-in-law now to his dad
And so became his uncle though this made him very sad
For if he was his uncle, that would also make him brother
To the widow's grown up daughter, who of course was his step-mother

His father's wife then had a son that kept them on the run
And he became his grandchild for he was his daughter's son
His wife is now his mother's mother and this makes him blue
Because, she is his wife, well then she's is his grandma too

Now, if his wife is his grandmother, then, he is her grandchild
And every time he thinks of it, it nearly drives him wild
For now he has become the strangest case you ever saw
As the husband of his grandmother, he is his own grandpa

He is his own grandpa, He is his own grandpa
It sounds funny we know, but it really is so
He is his own grandpa

I know where I came from—but where did all you zombies come from?
