In quantum electrodynamics (QED), particles can move either forwards or
backwards through time -- even though we can only make observations along
the forward direction. What we observe as a positron is in fact an
electron that is moving backwards through time.

That being the case, I hereby claim that ALL HUMAN LANGUAGES are descended
from Modern Yiklamu, which I expect to emerge from simulation sometime
late this year.

This claim is PROVED by the fact that the Classical Yiklamu word for "cat"
is 'kikfa' while many native speakers of English dislike cats.

QED.

(QED!!!! Coincidence? I think not.)
