New Breakthrough Discovery—Every Quantum Particle Travels Backwards
Quantum Mechanical Particles
Mathematicians at the Universities of York, Munich and Cardiff have identified a unique property of quantum mechanical particles – they can move in the opposite way to the direction in which they are being pushed.
In everyday life, objects travel in the same direction as their momentum – a car in forward motion is going forwards, and certainly not backwards.
However, this is no longer true on microscopic scales – quantum particles can partially go into reverse and travel in the direction opposite to their momentum. This unique property is known as ‘backflow’.
