    However paradoxical it may seem, it has a directly measurable effect on the atomic cloud that the photon traverses

    So … a proton exits this ‘atomic cloud’ before it enters?

        Seems pretty standard model still, more interesting behavior hiding in the indeterminance principle. Still, negative time hints at negative energy which could certainly change the game.

          negative time hints at negative energy

          Energy = mass, and negative mass would have some really bonkers paradoxical behavior…

            Including the aforementioned time travel via stabilization of wormholes ala Morris–Thorne…
