Physicists from the University of Queensland in Australia set out to simulate a computer experiment, which could prove the possibility of time travel at the quantum level, predicted in 1991.
They managed to simulate the behavior of a single photon passing through a wormhole in space-time in the past and engaging with itself. Such a trajectory of a particle is called a closed timelike curve, i.e. a photon returns to the original space-time point and its worldline closes.
In the first, the particle passes through a wormhole, returning to the past, and interacts with itself. In the second scenario, the photon, forever enclosed in a closed timelike curve interacts with another, ordinary particle.
According to the scientists, their work will make an important contribution to the unification of the two great theories in physics, which till this moment had little in common: the Einstein’s general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics.
“Einstein’s theory describes the world of stars and galaxies, while quantum mechanics studies mainly the properties of elementary particles, atoms and molecules,” said Martin Ringbauer of University of Queensland.
However, this possibility can cause a number of paradoxes: a time traveler could, for example, prevent his parents from meeting each other, and thus make his own birth impossible.
In 1991, it was suggested for the first time that time travel in the quantum world can prevent such paradoxes, since the properties of quantum particles are not precisely defined, according to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle.
Computer simulations created by Australian scientists allowed them to study the behavior of quantum particles in such a scenario. At the same time, new interesting effects were revealed, the occurrence of which is considered impossible according to the standard quantum mechanics.
For example, it turned out that it is possible to accurately identify the various states of a quantum system, which is quite possible if we remain within the framework of the quantum theory.

...^^^ and the funny thing is, even now when I don't have anything in particular to meditate on and I just feel greatful, I like to go back and give the right advice to younger versions of myself. I see the 250 lb. ball of tears lying in bed wondering how she's going to pay rent while her boyfriend is cheating on her and I slap and scream strength into her and tell her not to be a victim to the world anymore and to go shock the nay-sayers by being more than anyone ever expected.
Well, looks like it is time to go back in time, find the computer and destroy it before humans figure it out and use it for "war" advantages and drastically change the course of history.

Hmmm? I find this interesting yet it is not my perspective at all. I think some are meditating maybe a little too much. As far as particle physics are concerned it is close and yet still no cigar. Its a simulation and I am not too sure I buy into this simulation because of my experiences are more in the area of dimensional theories that no one will elaborate on. I believe these dimensional theories have more plausibility for the time/space travel than this does what-so-ever. Yet, you'll have to come to y our own conclusions once the books are complete. I will attempt to show evidence in the following; Ufology, the Paranormal ( and Dimensional Theories ) with actual pictures Then I am concluding it with " The Correlation" tying all of these phenomenon together. I am not a scientist, nor schooled in physics or any scientific areas other than through my contact experiences. However you decide to put these correlations together from your "Perspectives" will be up to you? The only thing I can say are these two things; 1) Don't shoot the messenger! 2.) "Believe What You Will"
