What if time is not as fixed as we thought? Imagine that instead of flowing in one direction—from past to future—time could flow forward or backwards due to processes taking place at the quantum level ...

“In the past, entropy was lower; the future is where entropy is higher.” However, quantum physics encounters a problem here: the mathematician and physicist John von Neumann was able to show: ...
