  • 'Negative Time' Experiment Shows Photons Exiting an Atom Cloud Before Entering I

There seem to be two possibilities in this experiment. First, yet another one of Einstein's theories is confirmed. Second, this really does impact our understanding of time.

First -

In 1919, Einstein published a paper which asked if gravitation and electromagnetism play a role in formation of elementary particles. This paper is usually overlooked by modern scientists because it doesn't mention the weak and strong nuclear forces. It can't mention them directly since the forces weren't even discovered until the 1930s. But it can account for them through mass, quantum spin, and the retarded and advanced waves which respectively travel forwards and backwards in time. John G. Cramer described advanced waves in his 2022 Internet article "Advanced Waves Detected" https://www.npl.washington.edu/av/altvw219.html - “In summary, it appears that advanced waves do exist and have been detected. Much more work must be done to ensure that this effect is real and can be extended, but the physics implications are gigantic.”

Referring to mass -

Like the Sun's gravity interacting with and refracting light, interaction of photons and gravitons would produce a pressure interpreted as mass. The masslessness of gluons might be produced by retarded and advanced waves cancelling. If Einstein's 1919 paper is correct, the retarded and advanced portions of the waves constructing a gluon's future and past mass entangle and neutralize each other. This produces a mass of zero and relates gluons to the Higgs boson whose zero quantity is its quantum spin.

Regarding quantum spin -

1) Photon divided by graviton = spin 1/2 of all matter particles.

2) Graviton divided by photon = spin 2/1 which may be responsible for the intense gravity of black holes.

3) Using time reversal in case of graviton: 1+2-2 = spin of nuclear-force bosons. It also equals photon spin - establishing a link between gravitation’s spin 2, electromagnetism, and the nuclear forces.

4) Speaking of the Higgs which has spin 0: zero can be arrived at through (1 - 2) + 1 which uses the experimental data of a photon existing in two places simultaneously (it uses the graviton’s spin 2 being taken away from the photon’s spin 1, and the spin motion of 1 being in more than one place at the same time).

To return to the negative-time experiment - FQXI's reporting of it states, "it appear(s) as though the photons exited the material before entering it." If gravitation and electromagnetism play a role in formation of elementary particles, the photons shooting through a cloud of ultracold atoms would not be the only photons involved. Each rubidium atom would already contain innumerable photons. If an atom was nudged from behind by a laser, it could release some of its pre-existing photons and these could exit the cloud before those from the laser had time to cause atomic excitation.

Second -

Dr. Steinberg, one of the authors of the experiment's paper, says "... because photons are quantum particles in the quantum realm, the two outcomes (interaction or non-interaction of the lasered photons with the atoms) can be in superposition — both things can happen at the same time."

Both gravitational and electromagnetic waves possess retarded and advanced components which travel forwards and backwards in time, cancelling one another and entangling all masses. Wick rotation (time) is built into the Mobius strips and figure-8 Klein bottles composing electromagnetism's photons and gravitation's gravitons. Therefore, all time (the entire past and present and future) is united into one thing just as all space and all mass are united into one thing. (If time only passed rectilinearly - from past to present to future - the idea of waves travelling back in time would make no sense at all. But what if time is curvilinear (think of Relativity's curved spacetime) - with past, present, and future interconnected by the warping of time and space in a circular fashion described with Wick rotation's imaginary numbers. Then time would be able to move from future to present to past.) According to these thoughts - In the human frame of reference, causes precede effects but in the universal frame of reference, cause and effect are not separate.
