TL;DR Summary
Does antiparticles move backwards in time
I have seen this in pop-science, is it correct? Does antiparticles move in the oppisite direction of time? Is it possible to prove this experimentaly? Does it have any practical consequenses? We use PET-scaning everyday, is there anything to consider when working with positrones connected with them moving back in time?
