With its far lower gravity building a space elevator on Ceres would be a far simpler proposition than building one on Earth. Using the gravity assist of Jupiter would mean that fueling the return of payloads from Ceres back to Earth could be made much more cost-effective than a fully fueled option.

Evidence of ‘Negative Time’ Found in Quantum Physics Experiment
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/evidence-of-negative-time-f
ound-in-quantum-physics-experiment
/



Physicists showed that photons can seem to exit a material before entering it, revealing observational evidence of negative time.

Their experiments involved shooting photons through a cloud of ultracold rubidium atoms and measuring the resulting degree of atomic excitation. Two surprises emerged from the experiment: Sometimes photons would pass through unscathed, yet the rubidium atoms would still become excited—and for just as long as if they had absorbed those photons. Stranger still, when photons were absorbed, they would seem to be reemitted almost instantly, well before the rubidium atoms returned to their ground state—as if the photons, on average, were leaving the atoms quicker than expected.

The theoretical framework that emerged showed that the time these transmitted photons spent as an atomic excitation matched perfectly with the expected group delay acquired by the light—even for cases where it seemed as though the photons were reemitted before the atomic excitation had ebbed.

“A negative time delay may seem paradoxical, but what it means is that if you built a ‘quantum’ clock to measure how much time atoms are spending in the excited state, the clock hand would, under certain circumstances, move backward rather than forward,” Sinclair says. In other words, the time in which the photons were absorbed by atoms is negative.

Even though the phenomenon is astonishing, it has no impact on our understanding of time itself—but it does illustrate once again that the quantum world still has surprises in store.
