A growing number of scientists are convinced the future influences the past

It's good to know more researchers are starting to be interested in this (kind of) idea, which was explored in my Ph.D study 30 yrs ago and eventually formulated a quantum field theory[^] for it. I have shown that is logically inevitable if one want to unify quantum mechanics and relativity without hiding inconsistencies under the carpet ... But it can't be published :( The basic idea is quite simple: in quantum mechanics not all observables (operators) are commutable which implies the existence of "before" and "after" ordering of an operation, or a measure of delta time. Delta time is absolute in Newtonian mechanics, but is relative in relativity. Not only its value, but also its sign can be changed when it is space-like (meaning the spatial separation of two events is large enough), which means that the above mentioned ordering can change for different observers in different motion frames. That's where the said inconsistencies originated since quantum particles correlated with each other even if they are separated by space-like distances. This is the accepted interpretation of QM (collapsing of wave function when measured etc.) and seems to be verified by recent experiments (admitted that most of them are not designed to focus on the space-likeness of the correlations) ... Therefor one need some kind of retrocausality, at lease at microscopic level, and it lead me to the falsifiable theory mentioned above ...

One of these things is not like the other ;) Thank you for this - I'm assuming that this is all happening at the quantum level, and not at any sort of atomic level or above?

Yes, it's at quantum level and formally at low energy as well, albeit relativistic effects manifest at high energy in classical world ...

I belief most of these studies are about behaviors of single or few particles, namely they are at underlying microscopic level. Thermodynamics (specifically, the 2nd Law) will still emerge at macroscopic level. This is true at least in the theory I developed, which IS about Statistical Physics for relativistic quantum fields ...

You know magic mushrooms are found in bull shit, seems it's getting pretty deep.

JA Wheeler and RP Feynman wrote an article in 1945 analyzing why we do not detect electromagnetic waves propagating into the past. Their conclusion was that the early Universe was opaque, and the waves coming from the future generated a response that exactly cancelled them out. [Wheeler JA, Feynman RP.

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows. -- 6079 Smith W.

Most of these ideas are already formally implemented in modern relativistic quantum field theories. But these are not enough to eliminate the inconsistencies found in finite density/temperature situations, especially for fermions, new infinities occur that is either not noticed or was simply dropped, which is a habit of the modern days, ... It depends on an understanding of time reversal and its symmetry in quantum mechanics. My contribution is a realization, in my Ph.D study and thesis, of the necessity of a distinction between the so called motion reversal and causal reversal for quantum particles ... These understanding was formally implemented in my theory that consistently eliminates the said infinities ... I know it's too technical to be discussed here, but ...
