Ok... So... I don't understand. They are talking about time reversing itself, and ... does this have any impact on actual physics classes?

Nope.
To some extent, this is allready known and understood. It's nothing new.
When this becomes important, you're way beyond normal physics classes.
This article only applies to very, very small things where the size of the items is near the size of its atoms.

I don't think we should re-write physics quite yet. It's an interesting finding, but needs lots of scrutiny before we trash everything we know about the universe.

I agree. Speculation on my part, of course, but I get the feeling it's going to be a similar deal to newtonian vs. relativistic motion, as in the situations in which this phenomena is observable, a more accurate formula is to apply, but otherwise, in "day to day stuff," the second law as we know it to be applied for simplicity's sake.

Time though being a perception of the human mind. we feel it exsists but it's like trying to define a point in space, no matter how hard we try to define somethign, there is always something smaller, there may not be a name for it, but it's there. The range of the universe is 10^ to 10^- in size. Time itself, please define it first, then we'll talk about how things can go foreward or reverse. *this is my major problem with theoretical physics, we're leaving the major definitions of key words out of it...*
