Russian scientists just announced that they have created a time machine that moves tiny
particles a fraction of a second into the past.
Meaning, that if these scientists are correct, they have just achieved time travel.
So how exactly did these scientists do this, and what does it mean for the future of time
travel?
Well, you cant travel back in time to stop the holocaust just yet.
Welcome back to informoverload, i'm charlotte dobre.
On this channel we take the most interesting news stories on the internet, and we make
them more entertaining.
Hit that sub button and the bell so you never miss one of our videos. before i get into
this one, tell me in the comments, what would you do if you could turn back time, who would
you visit, what would you change?
Alright so little disclaimer here, physics was definitely not my science subject of choice,
i was definitely more of a biology kinda gal, so i'm gonna do my best to explain physics
to you all.
Bare with me for a second.
Russian scientists at the laboratory of the physics at the Moscow institute of physics
and technology, say they have essentially defied the second law of thermodynamics by
creating a mini time machine.
No big deal whatsoever.
The time machine is built from a basic quantum computer, made up of qubits.
A qubit is a unit of information described by a zero or a 1.
This information can be stored on an electron.
According to the Russian physicists who claim to have built a time machine, the machine
is able to move smaller than atom sized objects in the opposite direction of times arrow.
I feel like i've lost you already, stay with me people.
Let me use an analogy.
Everyone likes analogies right?
The physicists gave the analogy of a break for a game of pool.
When the pool balls are scattered, they split in a random way, but these physicists claim
that they managed to make the balls reform in their original order inside the triangle.
The experiment saught to cause the qubits to become more complex, changing the pattern
of zeros and ones.
Order was then lost, but with another program, they modified the state of the quantum computer
so that it evolved backwards, from chaos to order.
This caused the qubits to rewind back to their original starting point.
So its like you're playing a game of pool, you break the triangle, the balls scatter,
then all of a sudden, they all come back to their original triangle shape.
Pretty insane right?
This goes against the rule of physics that dictates the direction of events that go from
the past to the future.
This law governs that everything in the universe must eventually decay.
This includes things like our sun, living things, and memes.
Eventually memes get stale, and die.
Usually with the help of meme review.
SHOTS FIRED.
And According to the second law of thermodynamics, Energy does not repeat in an infinite loop,
at least, so we thought.
So what does this mean for the future of time travel?
well the scientists found that while working with just 2 qubits, time reversal was successful
85 percent of the time.
But as soon as they jacked that number ip to 3 qubits, the success rate dropped to 50
percent.
that beind said, this experiment is making huge waves in the scientific community.
its is, in every respect, a breakthrough.
I remember when i was watching a tv program like 15 years ago about how cell phones are
going to be small enough to fit in our pocket some day, and here we are, 15 years later
and we not only have cellphones small enough to fit in our pocket, we have mini computers.
This time machine is the first step toward achieving time travel on a grand scale.
Who knows, maybe 50 years from now, we will be able to travel to the past.
This time machine and the finding were published in the journal scientific reports.
Alright thats all i have for you on this friends, tell me what you think of this time machine
down there in the comments, for now i'm going to wrap up this video with some comment features.
Cat barf - just finished eating my fries.
love my taters. and your taters love you.
Nkkm - charlotte makes me feel a lot better about myself.
awww that makes me happy.
Bonnie lockwood - did i tell you your background music reminds me of the final music from saw....weird..
Steven will - hey charltote, how are you at coming up with your own material on the spot,
make it as you go, so to speak.
good question, i actually have a ton of improv training.
I was part of an improv ensemble for about a year and i've taken a ton of classes so
i'm really good at thinking on my feet.
Also, Most of the time, when i look at the second camera, thats a joke i'm thinking of
on the spot.
the second camera doesnt have a teleprompter in front of it.
Cheesecake - you always make that face charlotet.
i love it.
I know dad becasue you're ready to trust me with the
company, your legacy, and everythign you have built from the ground up
