And yet now evolution HAS been observed in real time, and instrumentation (such as MRI) allows us to 'see' the professor's brain without having to take it from his head.

BTW, absolute zero temperature may make sense from the POV of electromagnetism and atomic/molecular movement, but there is still energy inside the system that might be removed (even if we don't know how yet)- tied up with nucleons, for instance, or confinement (weak and strong forces).

At the time Einstein was a student nuclear forces were barely recognized.

The photon may have an opposite- which I've called the 'skoton'. Photons interact with normal spin 1/2 matter, but skotons wouldn't, rather they would prefer to deal with spin 3/2 particles which travel faster than light (the interaction would slow them down) and also travel backwards in time.

You don't wanna mess with skotons (if you COULD- which you can't). They would suck the life right out of you. Maybe one day new technologies will incorporate them. Colder than cold- darker than dark. Pure evil? Small price to pay for time reversal. Open a vein...sign right here.... 8)
