 Did we just discover time travel?

 Mind blown! 
 Interpretations of quantum mechanics are like compiler errors in that hip new academic programming language that you're trying to learn. Sure they're technically consistent, but they're also oddly constructed and you can't help but wonder whether the system is a little too fancy for its own good. Maybe if you spent a couple decades understanding it you could figure out how to fix their mistake, but since only fanboys are going to spend that kind of time, you to do that you just hold your nose and work on things that matter. 
 There once was a lady from Wight, who could travel much faster than light, she left one day in a relative way and arrived on the previous night.
