Scientists trying to take advantage of the unusual properties of the quantum realm say they have successfully simulated a method of backward time travel that allowed them to change an event after the fact one out of four times. The Cambridge University team is quick to caution that they have not built a time machine, per se, but also note how their process doesn’t violate physics while changing past events after they have happened.
Ok, so, this is in the context of closed timelike curves. This is a thing which appears in the math of general relativity. It has never been observed in real life, and may disappear if we ever have a reconciliatian of quantum mechanics and gravity.
The study was a computer simulation of “what if we had some particles in a closed timelike curve and could mess with them”, and there is no suggestion of this being applicable or even possible in the real world.
So the universe has rollback netcode?
This is more like the YouTuber with no voice showing how to JTAG into the bootloader via CPU solder points just to flip one bit.
