Further physics news about whether the past is coming

There’s been further evidence found that, maybe, time does not run backwards. The evidence is presented in this study:

Observation of Time Reversal Violation in the B0 Meson System,” The BABAR Collaboration [J.P. Lees, et al.], arXiv:1207.5832, July 24, 2012.

The Economist summed it up in their September 1 edition, under the headline (and subheadline) “The Arrow of Time: Backward ran sentences… To the relief of physicists, time really does have a preferred direction”.

(Thanks to investigator Stephanie J. Gibbs for bringing this to our attention.)
