“What if we simply expanded and
isolated the anti-time out of the quantum foam?” It seemed like an
interesting idea to follow up on. Distortions of spacetime
frequently created particles and anti-particles – so why not time
and anti-time? From a block time perspective, nothing would be
altered. The direction of influence would travel 'up' the entropy
gradient, but that really didn't matter, did it?
It turned out that it would matter, but
not in the way they were expecting. It reduced the entropy of the
target 'time' to the point of
decoherence. Rather than causing a specific effect, it increased the
chance of any effect. To a point, the more directed the anti-time,
the more randomness it seemed to cause.
Was
it a dead-end? Not exactly. With a specific enough target, a
standing wave could be set up and a meaningful interaction made.
