Full Title: In the quantum world, the future affects the past: Hindsight and foresight together more accurately 'predict' a quantum system’s state

In short, the big shocker in this paper: "in the quantum world time runs both backward and forward whereas in the classical world it only runs forward."

I might cite the Heisenberg Principle.

Or I might not.

I knew you were going to post that...

In the quantum world, the future predicts the past.

In a Newtonian world, hindsight is 20/20.

Where’s that darn cat?

Not to sound like a know-it-all, but the future affecting the past on a quantum level is not only decades-old theory, but there are existing machines that work on this principle.

Here’s a patent application I wrote on such a device: http://www.google.com/patents/US8068740

“The answer, so obvious in the case of the murder mystery...”

Sheesh....I’m not even sure about the answer to this!

[Talisker]

Impressive!

Betelgeuse?

Maybe on the quantum level, there is no such thing as ‘time’.

Begin at about 4:20 if you are particularly impatient.

I’m not so certain about that. Or maybe I am.

[freedumb2003]

Ah.

I never really watched that show. I tried to watch from the beginning and after 2 episodes I was bored to tears and gave up.

So I don’t quite get it, sorry :(

Obviously false.

“It’s not clear why in the real world, the world made up of many particles, time only goes forward and entropy always increases,” Murch said. “But many people are working on that problem and I expect it will be solved in a few years,” he said.

if you can ask that question, you’re completely in the dark.

can anything we do today cause someone else to win the 2008 and 2012 elections?
