Recent experiments in quantum physics suggest time travel exists — but it’s not what we see in the movies with flashing machines and meet-ups with past or future people.
In reality, what scientists found is that at the most micro levels, the laws of physics don’t really care if time goes forward or backward. Some processes look the same either way.
Glenn Beck explains it like this: “Time is not a straight railroad track marching only forward. It’s like a long ribbon — flexible. And under the right conditions, at the tiniest invisible scales, the ribbon can twist and loop back so the end connects with the beginning.”
How this plays out practically is complex. While humans cannot send their physical bodies back in time, they may be able to send “information” backward.
Glenn gives the following hypothetical: A concerned father gets a gut feeling that something bad is about to happen to his daughter. He listens to it, warns, and she makes a different, safer decision.
What research is suggesting is that that gut feeling might actually be a quiet “nudge” or whisper of information sent back from the dad’s future self — who has already seen (or lived through) the near-disaster with his daughter. The future dad desperately wants to protect her, so he slips a hidden message backward in time. It arrives as intuition or a “something feels off” feeling. She acts on it, stays safe, and the loop stays consistent.
But even though this research is new, it reveals something Christians already know, Glenn says: God, being altogether outside of time, speaks to us through promptings and nudges.
“A godwink — that’s what they’re saying can be sent back through time,” he says.
“Something feels off before a bad decision is made or an unexplained urge to call a loved one right when they need it, … sudden clarity that steers us away from trouble” — these common scenarios that quantum scientists are calling “tiny echoes of information traveling backward” are really just proof that God and His connection to (and affection for) His people are real.
“Science dismisses all of this stuff. Or they’ll say, ‘Well, that is your subconscious mind rapidly processing clues,”’ Glenn says.
But what if both are simultaneously true?
“This new thinking about time loops opens a pretty wondrous door,” Glenn says. “What if the promptings, what if these godwinks are all, get this, part of the God-designed cosmos itself and our entangled connection to it?”
“Science doesn’t describe it this way, but science also doesn’t understand if God exists, then he’s the greatest scientist of all time,” he continues. “To me, it’s only logical the entire universe has a grand design … and if there is a grand design, then there has to be a designer.”
