A Growing Number of Scientists Are Convinced the Future
Influences the Past
"But what if this forward causality could somehow be reversed in time, allowing
actions in the future to influence outcomes in the past? This mind-bending idea,
known as retrocausality, may seem like science fiction grist at first glance, but
it is starting to gain real traction among physicists and philosophers, among
other researchers, as a possible solution to some of the most intractable riddles
underlying our reality.
In other words, people are becoming increasingly “retro-curious,” said Kenneth
Wharton, a professor of physics at San Jose State University who has published
research about retrocausality, in a call with Motherboard. Even though it may
feel verboten to consider a future that affects the past, Wharton and others
think it could account for some of the strange phenomena observed in quantum
physics, which exists on the tiny scale of atoms."
