When a radioactive atom disintegrates into subatomic particles, the particles never reunite to reform the original atom. The universe itself is apparently expanding and radiating its energy into space like an unwinding clock...
...havior of subatomic particles called K-mesons. These particles normally decay rapidly into other smaller bits of matter, but some of them seem to live longer than they theoretically should. Stannard speculates that the K-mesons may actually do a "time-flip" into the Faustian universe, reverse their process of decay and grow younger. Then they flip back and resume their disintegration-while appearing only to have decayed more slowly...
