Many of the "regular" math breaks down in the quantum world. Some even have a theory that quantom computing works by processing in other dimensions. We really just don't know enough about it at this point. Still interesting though.

From the post:

>Scientists have long known that light can sometimes appear to exit a material before entering it—an effect dismissed as an illusion caused by how waves are distorted by matter. Now, researchers at the University of Toronto, through innovative quantum experiments, say they have demonstrated that "negative time" isn't just a theoretical idea—it exists in a tangible, physical sense, deserving closer scrutiny.

Reminds me of this joke.

Heisenberg and Schrodinger are on a road trip, when a cop pulls them over.

The officer walks up and asks if they know how fast they're going. Heisenberg replies that they do not, but know with high precision where they are. The cop thinks that's weird, and begins to search the vehicle. He opens the trunk and asks, "did you know you've got a dead cat in the trunk?" Schrodinger says, "well, now we do." 

The cop continues on and says "You were going 95 MPH in a 45 MPH zone". Heisenberg then shouts, "just fucking great! Now we're lost!".

this just proves that our model of reality is still missing pieces

in other words, we do not know what light is, we have a "model" that sometimes fall apart

not a big deal, it works most of the time...

And sometimes I see the wheels of a car appear to roll backwards when it starts to speed up going forward. I'm not saying the wheel is actually rolling backward, but maybe I will get funding to research this phenomenon more, especially if I advertise with catchy headlines.

"[...] We get misunderstood all the time," said Aephraim Steinberg

This can be interpreted in a few ways already
