If it worked, then it DIDN’T defy all the laws of physics. Obviously it meant that we didn’t get the laws of physics right.
However, this is not time travel. This is not reversing time’s arrows. Cause precedes effect, and effect follows cause. That is not a law of physics - it is a first principle that must be accepted if there is to be any understanding of the world at all.
There is no way for us mortals to step out of the cause-effect continuum.
v’nahafoch hu ("and it was turned to the contrary"):
Purim: V’nahafoch Hu
The underlying meaning of v’nahafoch hu is that what initially is perceived as a cause is really an effect, and what seems to be an effect is really the cause.
With Purim coming up, it's a great time to consider these quantum "mysteries" of the universe. Going back to December 1970, we can see that Jim Croce was a Jewish prophet when he wrote the song Time in a Bottle, because
If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
Time in a bottle is an hourglass, aka a sand clock. Just flip it over. There's plenty of time!
TIME <----> EMIT
emit (v.)
1620s, from Latin emittere "send forth," from assimilated form of ex "out" (see ex-) + mittere "to send" (see mission). Related: Emitted; emitting.

More below from the same author. Here we are in the second Adar, the "month of increase" (7 out of 19 years). There's a multi-layer meaning WTR what month Solomon finished the Temple (Bul, "increase").
And Egypt (aka the house of bondage) is famous for all that stuff hidden in the shifting sands of time. The Hebrew name for Egypt (Mitzraim) means the place of *double* straights, constriction points. It's like that diagram in the original post on this thread, where going forward appears to be going in reverse.If we ever to have a month commemorating quantum physics, there would be no more appropriate month for that than the second month of Adar – Adar Bet.
A state of superposition is a physical state unique to quantum theory...https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/second-adar-the-month-of-quantum-physics/

Going forward in time, flipping over the time in the bottle twice means that the setup is oriented the same as at the start. Time first had to move through the "double straits."
There really is a simple explanation for everything that happens under the sun.
And it's very funny, God being the Master Comedian and all (timing is everything), but a lot of folks don't have any sense of humor. In Isaac Abraham's seed is called. Named "He will laugh." Exactly! It's the best medicine for getting out of bondage.
Puns are the lowest form of humor. That should tell everyone right there where they ultimately end up because... "v’nahafoch hu."
Thanks for the ping. Looks like an interesting article. Will check it out later.
