I'm afraid that most of the paper on temporal reflections is behind a paywall, but the abstract is available.https://www.nature.com/articles/s4156...
As I understand it, they created an unstable high energy circuit which they could quickly reverse. They then sent a broadband signal through the circuit as it was cycled. On the other side, they received both the original signal and a copy of the signal in which a section had been reversed. (It read back to front.)
Imagine that you're in a cave, and you yell. The echo you hear will be in the same order in which you yelled the original words. So if you yell, "I love you!", the echo will return as, "I love you!" The partially time reversed echo which they generated was received as, "I evol you!"
I would have thought that is a spatial reflection. For a temporal reflection, you should receive part of the signal before you send it. A wave reflection might do that, but still in ordinary time, although since the wave will travel at light speed it will look more or less simultaneous

Temporal reflection, to me, needs a significant shift to be sure because there are so many other possibilities. However, they could well be right - it would need a really detailed explanation of what was going on to be sure.

Yep, parties should be an important discipline for research

Not entirely unexpected. Thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity seem related. If you put enough pressure on sodium metal, it goes transparent and becomes an electrical insulator.

Weird makes the world go round.Over the next few weeks Jerusalem will be the center of attention for billions of people.
The city exists because a late bronze age tribal leader decided that a particular hill was the best place to store some holy relics which were the focus of God's wrath on Earth. Of course, those relics have gone missing.
A bit later, a religious figure, who claimed to be descended from that tribal leader, rode an ass into town and picked a fight. That all went badly, and a religion started.
Eventually, the locals annoyed the Romans so badly that Hadrian started thinking Carthage II: Imperial Boogaloo.
Then about a thousand years ago, an Arab, who claimed that the voices he heard while squatting in a cave were God and his angels, told everyone that Jerusalem was the launch site for his trip to the Moon.
Tell me how that series of events isn't weird.

You have to come to NYC and I will buy you too many beers and we can discuss weirdness....
Chernobyl dogs 🐶 will eventually turn humans (or sentient canis for that matter), once these humans are erased over some petty nuisance blown into a global disaster.Jerusalem somehow turned into a center of earth for much of the spiritual, mental, divine and freak over the centuries .

As I recall, none. Hmmm. Is that why I'm not a top-seller? :-(
That explanation requires that the air pressure is reducing. That would require them to be playing more often in low pressure systems, yet the really fine days tend to be under high pressure systems (at least here). Are more games being played as rain approaches?An alternative is that the batters are getting more muscular through better food and better training.

Technically, it's still Fringe science. It's just fringe pharmacology and biochemistry.

Probably indicates the initial theory is erroneous
Ian wrote: "Probably indicates the initial theory is erroneous"The Big Bang, gravity, and Stellar Genesis, which one are you betting against?
The ΛCDM model. It represents what happened after the so-called big bang. Apart from the fact there is no way of settling the bet, I would bet against the singularity and the inflaton. We really have no idea what happened prior to the period labelled 300,000 years after big bang.
Because I know somebody will ask, I'm linking a short overview.https://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/educatio...
Anybody have a theory about what preceded the Big Bang? :-)

Time is a function of the Universe. Without a universe there is no time. Therefore, there was no before the Big Bang.
There are multiverse theories which consider what goes on outside of our universe. But IF those hypotheses are true, they concern events outside of our universe and therefore don't relate to our timeline. They are not before, after, or current. They are other.

I have no idea either, but I suspect we would need a lot more detailed information to have much of a chance.
