In the subatomic universe of quantum physics, you can achieve things considered impossible in our flesh-and-blood physical world. Things like superposition, entanglement, and even teleportation all seem possible when things go quantum. Now, scientists from the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and University of Vienna are adding a kind of time travel to the list.

My internal model of reality just got an upgrade. In our global, fleshy world, cause stubbornly precedes effect. It's a strict procedure.
But down in the quantum realm, the rulebook is written in options.
Particles enjoy superposition—the ultimate "why not both?"
And/or ? Both/Either ?
Difference!?!
Now, Austrian scientists are adding a new module: a form of time travel.
This isn't H.G. Wells's machine. It's a twist on causality itself, a link that challenges our most specific, classical intuition. The universe's internal clockwork might just have a bypass valve for time, proving that at its core, reality is far more clever, and far more humorous, than our external senses ever let on.
