The article states:<p>"A central pillar of quantum theory is that the information — the probabilistic 1s and 0s representing particles’ states — is never lost. (The present state of the universe preserves all information about the past.)"<p>What if the current state of the universe could have been arrived at by two different historical paths? That would imply that neither one could be a preferred history, that we would have to consider the present state to be -- arrived at through both histories?<p>Do photons have their probability distributions with interference patterns on screens to resolve a some sort of preferential history information storage? Like there is not enough bits available to say which screen the photons went through so they must say both?
As cool as it sounds, this is way beyond intelligibility for non-physics people. I don't understand the need for trying to vulgarizing anything quantum related.<p>I understand the Maxwell demon, and Bennet's argument, but everything after that is simply too hard.
Both papers published simultaneously...
How does that happen? But the probability of that happening seems to be more since the last 100 years ;)<p>And no, I don't have any research papers or statistics to back up my statements. Just saying from observing this pattern on reading upon many of the stories about inventions/discoveries etc.<p>BTW, what is the probability of others feeling the same about this "observation"?
