What you said was true up until that point.
The physics of time-paradoxes [if they exist] has not yet been written. There is only speculation, and it has nothing to do with this.
It is also untrue that the "future affects the past." The correct statement is "the future reflects the past." If causality is real [and it certainly appears to be] it is not possible for the future to contain outcomes without causes. When you add to this that the total number of outcomes is very severely constrained by physical laws, it gives rise to the illusion that where things end up affects where they started. But it does not. They end up because, contrary to what the moron is saying in this article, quantum mechanics is FULLY CAUSAL. It is not deterministic, and it is probably not locally real on some scale [although there is actually still some controversy about this.] But it is a causal theory, and quantum fields and particles are quite real whether you observe them or not.
Hi, Fred!... Very interesting. Thanks so much for once again steering me in the right direction on things having to do with physics. I need it and do appreciate it, and always look forward to your input.
