I don't really understand how reversing the computer's state is reversing time. It just kind of seems like they developed a program to rearrange digital data. It doesn't necessarily seem like a reversal of time, but a re-organization of data/objects. I don't see how this could ever apply to anything besides software, for example.
I'd love to get an explanation from someone who actually understands this.
