Physicists send particles of light into the past, proving time travel is possible? (more ideas)

Uh, mathematically possible, but still cool. I especially like this: "This particular experiment illustrates how what happens in the present can change what happened in the past. It also shows how time can go backwards, how cause and effect can be reversed, and how the future caused the past." Hear, hear.

    6. If a past event has fulfilled its purpose does it still maintain "pastness"
      or does it morph into "future"? Both past and future exist in the only
      reality-the present. fhew.
