How can it be possible to have answers older than the question?

Question

Does StackExchange have a time machine, or is this just from when questions have been merged?

Nice set of results on these precognitive questions here - Worst one is this one.

Source: This answer, which I recommend your read - also has a few interesting points on Zombie questions...

Dates don't change when posts are merged, so yeah.
