Angelo’s Notepad

Today I was telling Ryan something that my brother had told me a while ago: that they discovered certain particles traveled backward in time. Of course, he didn’t really believe me, so we looked it up online. I was sort of right (at least right enough). We found something from “the coolest stud at the MIT univeristy“:

“You take a beta particle, which is extremely heavy compared to the typical types of particle these time travel experiments tend to deal with, and bompard it with some arbitrary high frequency EM wave that gets it resonating. A few microseconds after you kill the wave, the resonance persists… what’s really happening is that the presence of time travelling pions is actually causing the beta particles to hallucinate that the EM wave that is YET TO HIT THEM is hitting them right then. They beta particles are in fact experiencing the world a few microseconds ahead of what the experimenter is observing it.”
