Could time travel soon become a reality? Physicists simulate sending quantum light particles to the past for the first time
University of Queensland researchers say photons can move through time

The study used photons - single particles of light - to simulate quantum particles travelling back through time.
By studying their behaviour, the scientists revealed possible bizarre aspects of modern physics.
In the simulation, the researchers examined two possible outcomes for a time-travelling photon.
For the first, ‘photon one’ would travel through a wormhole into the past and interact with its older version, reports The Speaker.
In the second, ‘photon two’ travels through normal space-time but interacts with a photon that is stuck in a time-travelling loop through a wormhole, known as a closed timelike curve (CTC).
Simulating the behaviour of photon two allowed the behaviour of photon one also to be studied - and the results revealed that time travel on a quantum level seems to be possible.
