translated from Spanish: Scientists solve the question ‘What was first, the chicken or the egg?’

Mexico City-scientists from Australia and France have given the task of finding the answer to the question of what was first, the chicken or the egg?.
It was in a study by the University of Queensland in Australia and the NÉEL Institute in France that we can see the results to this age-old question and finally, what was first, the chicken or the egg?.
For experts, both are first.
“Let us take the example of the daily trip to work, where business partly by bus and partly in tre, normally, take the bus and then train, or vice versa.” In our experiment, both events occur first and that is known as ‘indefinite casual order’ is not something that we observe in our daily life,”unveiled Jaqui Romero, of the Centre of excellence of ARC for quantum engineering systems.
The strangeness of quantum mechanics means that events can happen without an established order.
“think for example of the idea of bits of computers which can have a value of 0 or 1. In our experiment, if the control is 0, A happens before B. And if the control value is 1, B happens before that,”began to explain.
“The chicken and the egg is actually a metaphor. In the popular literature always wondered what was the first. And so tried this experiment, in which ‘A happens before B’ and ‘B happens before’ can be certain at the same time, it is that both events occur first! “, said Rosemary physics.
“We designed it that way. But in our everyday life, we have causes rather than effects. And we have that concept since we were children. My 4 year old son thinks that the sun rises if he sleeps.”
