Thread: Time runs both forward AND backward

  1. #1

    Time runs both forward AND backward

    From the USA Today about quantum mechanics.
    What is really happening in the double-slit experiment, they say, and really wherever atomic particles are interacting with each other (that is to say, everywhere), is not that the two electrons are in two places at once. Instead, time is running both forward, from the electron leaving the wire, and backward, from its final location on the second screen. Where time meets, running backwards and forwards, determines which slit the electron chooses. The future is affecting the past, all the time, on the quantum level. (Sadly our brains don't work on the quantum level, although I really don't want to know what I will look like in another 10 years.)
    All emphasis mine.

    So the river of time flows two ways! Hmm...

    Oh, the future running into the present which is just the past is nothing new to us Dogenites.

    Anyway, what past present or future?

    Please have a look please ... AS SOON AS YOU HAVE THE TIME ...
