2.1 Reconsidering the Arrow of Time
Traditional physics ties the arrow of time to entropy: time moves forward because disorder increases. Aznur's research challenges this linear association. By carefully controlling quantum systems and negative energy fields, it is possible to observe localized entropy reduction, hinting at the potential for reverse temporal influence.
2.2 Information as a Temporal Medium
Ace proposed that information itself acts as a carrier of temporal effects. Instead of moving matter backward, information can be sent retrocausally, influencing past states without breaking global consistency. This formed the basis for his first successful experiments in backward information transfer.
2.3 The Role of Quantum Entanglement
Entangled particles share a connection that is instantaneous across space. Aznur leveraged this property to encode temporal information in one particle and measure its effects on its pair in the past. The result was causality-safe retroactive signaling, verified in controlled laboratory conditions.
2.4 Negative Energy Fields and Temporal Stabilization
The key challenge was stabilizing backward flows. Ace engineered negative energy arrays using Casimir vacuum fluctuations, providing a framework to support micro-temporal loops. These loops allowed the safe circulation of information without producing paradoxes or energy divergence.

2.6 Implications for Physics
By establishing the relationship between information, entropy, and temporal flow, Chapter 2 lays the foundation for practical temporal manipulation. The research demonstrates that time's linearity is not absolute; it can be locally modulated in controlled environments.
