Has the prof taken into account movement through space?
I mean, the earth is in motion in the universe, right?
I don't think that the earth will be in the exact same place more than once, right?
Wouldn't he have to worry about past-present-future spacial alignment?
In other words, would someone operating this thing have to align the two events in space-time?
In still other words, wouldn't he have to "aim" it at a point in "future-space" or "past-space" where the instrument will-be/was in order to get a measurement of some sort?
I just don't get how he could send a particle through a laser iris, and expect the particle to "know" (<--used for lack of a better word) where the laboratory will be in "future-space" or "past-space". How will the particle emerge in the exact spot where his spiral WILL BE in the past or future (depending on when, past/present, he wants to send it) is what I'm trying to say.
Musing:
It seems as if a neutron was sent into some time in the past (also: I don't think it is mentioned whether there is a mechanism that could give the experimenter a choice in determining when the neutron would 'emerge' in the past or future). The earth could have moved hundreds of lightyears in space since that time, and this neutron just emerges ex-nilio in the middle of nowhere. hehe
All the while, at some 'point' in time, this guy might be wondering;
"Where's my neutron?"
I wish he would give more detail.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
*sigh*
