TL;DR Summary
Physicists Recreate Classic 'Double-Slit' Experiment Using Time Instead of Space

I think the go-fast optics in the actual paper is a lot of fun and the result is satisfying. I dont know whether this expands the state of the art for modulating light fastly (fastly being a Trumpism).
The rest of the hype is just silly IMHO.

I suspected as much. Thank you.

is there actually anything new in it?
That's effectively what neutrino oscillation experiments have been doing for decades.

Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...
I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
