Marshall Barnes Smashes 2011 Hong Kong Study Hype Ruling Time Travel "Impossible"

HONG KONG, China - Aug. 27, 2020 - PRLog -- "Discovery of superluminal propagation of optical pulses in some specific medium 10 years ago has evoked the world's dream of time travel, but later scientists realized that it is only a visual effect where the superluminal 'group' velocity of many photons could not be used for transmitting any real information."

So says a 2011 press release from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in relation to the paper, Optical Precursor of a Single Photon which was used to promote that time travel to the past is impossible. The problem is not only doesn't the paper not prove that, it doesn't say anything about it. Marshall Barnes, R&D Eng, arguably the world's leading authority on time travel, with a record of breakthroughs in the nature of time, retrocausality, time travel and parallel universes, has released his initial draft of a rebuttal paper destroying the case for the HKUST anti-time travel position, and any credibility HKUST has to even comment on the subject.

"Essentially what they did," Marshall explained as he prepared to attend a time travel conference produced by Lorien Fenton, "is look at whether they could get a single photon to exceed the speed of light, which they couldn't. No problem, until they tried to link time travel relevance to it after the paper was published in the journal Physical Review Letters. I know of no one addressing issues of time travel that even thinks about that, showing how far behind the HKUST team was on the established theories and rightfully so - they're not even in this field!"

Essentially, Marshall has saved "time travel" figuratively from the hype of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology just in time for the bebut of the new Bill and Ted time travel adventure comedy, Bill and Ted Face the Music. The Bill and Ted franchise was mentioned by the media several times.

Marshall saya it's easy to see how then HKUST president, Tony F Chan, and the HKUST PR department, attempted to exaggerate the study to make it "sexy" by implying it involved time travel.
