Read the article. Sounds less like time travel and more like distortion. So you could reverse aging for an object, but not bring yourself back in time or anything.

So technically a way better outcoume.

Aww it looks like the article is too simplified so I don't get what was really achieved without the clickbait, but the paper itself (there doesn't seem to be a link) is probably too complicated to understand.
Can this, for example, change the observed half-life of particles or atoms? That would be very weird (and cool!), so I doubt it.
>Time passes regardless, and it is the physical state that changes
are they not the same? How can you tell if time is going backwards, or cars are just going in reverse?
>To make a system age 10 years in one year, you must get the other nine years from somewhere
So maybe to increase the half life of something, they need to decrease the half life of something else?

Article is oversimplified. But scientists have already altered the entropic lean of quantum particles, just not to this degree. We can watch it happen, but we can not do much with it, yet. As far as I’m aware. I’m all for this congregation of scientists for this endeavor though.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/Gari_305:
From the Article
>Imagine you are 40-something and want to go on a date looking like you did 20 years ago. This is impossible in the classical physical world but not in the quantum world, which refers to the subatomic particles that are the foundation for all reality. Miguel Navascués and David Trillo, Spanish researchers from the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW), conducted several studies with Austrian researcher Philip Walther and the University of Vienna’s experimental physics group. The team published papers in Physical Review X, Quantum, Arxiv, Physical Review Letters and Optica on theoretical research and experiments proving it’s possible to “accelerate, decelerate and reverse the flow of time within arbitrary, even uncontrolled quantum systems.” These unique physical processes, capable of disrupting the normal course of time, are universal: they have the same effect on all particles, regardless of their nature and interaction with other systems.
