Time travel may be possible - for sub atomic particles, at least, a new experiment has found. Physicists have discovered that heat can spontaneously flow from a cold quantum particle to a hotter one under certain conditions - effectively reversing the 'arrow of time'.
While the discovery doesn't advance the possibility of building a time machine, it does show the quantum world operates under very different rules, researchers say.

They covered that yesterday, except for the stuff to be tested tomorrow.
Ronald Reagan and George Bush were elected - twice.
Knowing what I do about liberals, this proves that time travel will always be impossible.
Maybe this is what inspired that B-Movie “Hot Tub Time Machine”!
So heat is time.
Suddenly, it’s all so clear.
One of my favorite books ever
is “Time’s Arrow” by Martin Amis.

Nope. But one indication of the direction of time has been the movement of heat from whatever is hot to cooler climes. This is a reversed flow. I think the larger lesson to be learned is how weird quantum physics is.
It’s “Uncertainty” ... “Does anyone really know what time it is?” ... Didn’t know that was Quauntum Theory. Didja?
oh for goodness sake- all ya gotta do to prove time can go backerds is to sleep backerds and wake up the day before-
Well, if time can flow backwards then then backwards flow can time if ,Well
Chicago....the all-physicist band.
I went back in time and changed my post.
Then, I went back again and changed it back.
Don’t you listen to him, quantum physics!
You are not weird!
You’re special!
Your Mother and I love you no matter what!
Just ignore sparklite2!
Now, you go get the thermometer and tell us what time it is.
“Schmedlap! You’re late for work again! What’s your excuse this time?”
“My thermometer broke.”
“Your thermometer broke? What kind of stupid excuse is that?”
“Well, boss, they have proved that heat is time. My thermometer broke so I didn’t know what time it was.”
“Couldn’t you find a tape measure?”
“Naw. I lost my sense of smell.”
“How can the net amount of entropy of the universe be massively decreased?”
From Asimov’s “The Last Question.”
