Retrocausality Puns

And does he realize that in designing the future he saw, intentionally or unintentionally, can mess up the natural order of things?

how does retro-causality work? how can an effect precede a cause because if the effect is in existence, then isn't it being caused to be in existence? so how does an effect precede a cause?

also, how can there be a span of time between cause and effect? because when a cause is in existence that which comes from it also has to be in existence, and the effect can only be in existence while the cause is

I'm wondering how popular quantum interpretations would explain the quasar in Wheeler's delayed-choice experiment.... does retrocausality need to be involved?

An excerpt from YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ui9ovrQuKE

>0:45 ....In 1978, a physicist by the name of John Archibald Wheeler proposed a thought experiment, called delayed choice. Wheeler’s idea was to imagine light from a distant quasar which is billions of light years from earth, being gravitationally lensed by a closer galaxy. As a result, light from a single quasar would appear as coming from two slightly different locations, because of the lensing effect of gravity from a galaxy between earth and the quasar.
>
>Wheeler then noted that this light could be observed on earth in two different ways. The first would be to have a detector aimed at each lensed image. Since the precise source of this light was known, it would be measured as particles of light when viewed. But if a light interferometer was placed at the junction of the two light sources, the combined light from these two images would be measured as a wave because it’s precise source would not be known. That’s the way quantum mechanics should work.
>
>This is called a delayed choice because the observer’s choice of selecting how to measure the particle is being done billions of years from the time that the particle left the quasar. So presumably the light would have to be committed to either being a particle or wave, billions of years before the measurement is actually made here on earth.
>
>This quasar experiment isn’t practical, but modern equipment allows us to perform a similar experiment in the lab, where the decision to measure a particle or wave is done at random after the quantum system is “committed.” And indeed his thought experiment is confirmed – that even if measured at random, when the path information is known, the light is a particle. When path information is erased by using an interferometer, the light is a wave. But how could this be?...the light began its journey billions of years ago, long before we decided on which experiment to perform. It would seem as if the quasar light “knew” whether it would be seen as a particle or wave billions of years before the experiment was even devised on earth.

>Does this prove that somehow the particle’s measurement of its current state has influenced its state in the pas

Tried getting the new raid sparrow with two of my buddies. The requirements are listed under the "Not A Scratch" triumph:

> Bring all Pikes from the starting heat bubble to the final heat bubble.

I brought all the pikes through each heat bubble using two methods:

• Clear out every area using a normal sparrow, then bring each pike to the next bubble. (Scout next bubble, clear ads, bring 6 six pikes to the bubble, repeat).

• Clear out every area using normal sparrow, then bring each pike through every bubble in one life without getting off. (Scout, clear every bubble, bring 1 pike through the 6 bubbles in a row, repeat)

I did this with 2 others in my fireteam and it didn't count for the "Not A Scratch" triumph, which rewards the Retrocausality sparrow.

My guess is that you need to do method #2, but each pike needs to be brought through with an individual person, hence the title.

Note: I died during both methods. When the sparrow is destroyed, it respawns at the first heat bubble.

First - Let me clarify that I believe that there is potentially more than one cause of the Mandela Effect.

Retrocausality - or backwards causation, is a concept of cause and effect in which an effect precedes its cause in time and so a later event affects an earlier one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrocausality

If you want to look into real life experiments which seem to validate retrocausality, the quantum eraser experiment is one of the better ones.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_eraser_experiment

So now that I've outlined what retrocausality is and shown some evidence that it occurs - how does this relate to the Mandela Effect? Well - what if you had the power to 'edit' the current reality? Like doing a 'find and replace' for most references of 'grain' in the King James Bible and replace it with 'corn' - or find and replace of every reference of Noah in the new testament and replacing with 'Noe', or selectively replacing 'idol' with 'image', or selectively replacing 'womb' with 'matrix', introducing financial language like mortgages, introducing English titles of nobility like the Dukes of Esau, and even better modern titles like President Daniel, and throw in a bunch of emoticons all over the place to completely discredit the bible 7 ways from Sunday.

If you made such changes to our current reality - what would have needed to change in the past (retrocausality) to make these changes occur?

Logos? Movie lines? Song Lyrics? Animals that never went extinct starting to show up?

Oh the rabbit hole goes much deeper. Has anyone noticed the surge in Alternative History nowadays? Mudfloods, orphan trains, tartaria, resets, etc......

I'm finding these two topics increasingly interrelated. Just like the Mandela effect I find plenty of issues with these alternative history stories, but some of them have profound evidence to support. Beginning to think that our entire history is being altered by desired changes to the present. How do you end up with a current reality very close to ours with the thousands of changes to the bible without the 'system' creating a massively different past?

Food for thought........

In Classical physics one must accept a basic principle that time is asymmetrical and that it travels in only one direction.[i] This seems to be somewhat how one could view the SW Galaxy. Time is always moving forward in a linear fashion. Despite what may be time delay in the SW Universe in places like Mortis[ii], where time moves more quickly or slowly on Mortis[iii] this does not break with either Thermodynamics on traditional causality. It follows what one would expect relativity speaking within the bounds of a Space-Time universe. This is despite the SW universe was created in a somewhat non-linear fashion, the universe itself seems to adhere to linear time in Universe (if one removes the idea of the Lego Holiday Special). [iv]

When speaking about time from a Quantum Physics/Mechanics perspective there are two odd ideas that come through to Modern Physics. That idea is what is known as Quantum Entanglement that is more widely known[v] and the sister theory that is known as Quantum Retrocausality[vi] The most famous idea would be that of Feynman that held and promoted the idea below:

>At the heart of the transactional interpretation is the “transaction”: real physical events are identified with so-called “handshakes” between forward-evolving quantum states ψ and backward-evolving complex-conjugates ψ∗. When a quantum emitter (such as a vibrating electron or atom in an excited state) is to emit a single quantum (a photon, in these cases), the source produces a radiative field—the “offer” wave. Analogously to the Wheeler-Feynman description, this field propagates outwards both forward and backward in time (as well as across space). When this field encounters an absorber, a new field is generated—the “confirmation” wave—that likewise propagates both forward and backward in time, and so is present as an advanced incident wave at the emitter at the instant of emission.[vii]

Although, as many have noted, space-time, and time itself does not have to be symmetrical according to the Linear Space Time model and Thermodynamics.

Putting as

My question comes from this page - https://phys.org/news/2017-07-physicists-retrocausal-quantum-theory-future.amp

Specifically the sentence "It does not mean that signals can be communicated from the future to the past—such signaling would be forbidden even in a retrocausal theory due to thermodynamic reasons."

I have seen articles that suggest information could be sent back in time by quantum entangling particles (although I've also read articles that suggest quantum entanglement cannot be used for communication as changes to one entangled particle "breaks" the entanglement).

So my question is does retrocausality violate the second law of thermodynamics or does purely signalling violate it or neither?

I recently tried to do the “Not a Scratch” triumph and me and my fireteam got all the pikes to the final heat bubble and nothing happened some of them were damaged is that the reason?

very interesting ideas from Vanessa VA, singularity, retrocausality, splitting timelines, the future is changing the past, I love it, I highly recommend her channel

Hi all,

So given that our brains are like quantum computers (following from Stuart Hammeroff and Roger Penroses work), what is the likelihood of experiencing retrocausality as I feel like I sometimes do, particularly when I'm high and I become super aware/alert to everything and feel like my emotions and inner monologue almost occurs before an event occurs outside. Has/does anyone else experience this same thing?

It happens to me on a small scale like say within 1-2 seconds like the words I speak in my mind or the emotional response I produce almost becomes justified by whatever then changes on the outside, almost like a constant dejavu but instead of dreaming something you respond to the event just before it occurs. I mean it's got to a point where I feel like an alien constantly walking around and observing/researching our own species, our behaviours, our use of semantics etc

I was thinking about John Wheeler's One-Electron hypothesis, and Yoichiro Nambu's concept that matter and antimatter collisions may not be two distinct particles annihilating each other on contact but rather a single particle reversing its direction in time. To me, this idea seems to open the door to retrocausality, that effects can sometimes precede their causes. Could this explain baryonic asymmetry, the apparent discrepancy between the greater amount of matter over antimatter in the universe?

If we start with the assumption that *every* antiparticle is a time-reversed convert of an ordinary particle, from our forward-looking perception we can view each antiparticle as having a wave function with a 100% certainty that at some point in the future the antiparticle will collide with its corresponding particle, as that would be its moment of creation rather than annihilation. However, not all normal particles are destined to collide with antiparticles, so their corresponding wave function has a less than 100% certainty of such a collision. Because all antiparticles are just time-reversed particles, and not all particles time-reverse, there must always be more matter than antimatter in the universe.

One implication of this is that any antiparticle's earliest moment of existence isn't its creation, but rather its destruction. The quantum soup of the big bang was 'creating' particles, but simultaneously 'destroying' a smaller subset of those same particles that were returning to it after a future time reversal. Perhaps something similar is true of lab-'created' antiparticles, which may just be attracting future antiparticles to their time-reversed endpoints.

Has this line of thought already been followed up on and debunked?

John C Wright hits the nail on the head here. Everything he says about Marvel Comics' new direction applies to LucasFilm and the dreck it dares to call Star Wars sequels.

>Hard work plus talent plus good luck plus longsuffering effort equals consumer loyalty and a place in the pop culture pantheon. Cause causes effect. That is our world, the real world.

>In their world, the unreal world, Marvel is iconic and great because it is Marvel, just for no reason, because nothing happens for any reason. The fame and fortune won by the Marvel staff and leadership over the decades is merely a given, merely a resource, like a tree, a rock, or a mud puddle, thrown into existence by the random flux of the universe, created without a creator. (emphasis added)

[...]

>So, here, where Marvel has won fame and fortune by tireless storytelling in a rigorous monthly and bimonthly schedule, decade after decade, it is merely the roulette wheel of life. The goodwill and fan loyalty now can be taken and distributed into [socially] useful channels, such as by cramming progressive messages into the space where story telling once was.

There's more to this, but the basic point can be applied to LucasFilm. Despite being named after the guy whose hard work and storytelling talent won the hearts of generations of fans, its leaders now treats this goodwill and its good name merely as a resource to be used any way they want, the product of random chance rather than creativity or resonance with the audience.

It doesn't care to understand where and how it all came from, only how it can be used to further teach their propaganda. The movies from Force Awakens onward fail even at this, because they are all the work of writers who want Lucas' results simply because they have the legal right to put the Star Wars name on their stories -- not because they put in the hard work needed to earn them.

And when they reap what they've sown, they lash out and blame fans; their worldview will allow no possibility they made a mistake.

Retrocausality may sound like science fiction, but it might be the best way to explain certain features of the quantum world, as detailed in a major new paper by physicists Ken Wharton and Nathan Argaman. Published in Reviews of Modern Physics, Wharton and Argaman's paper analyses possible ways to model measurements of "entangled" particles. One reasonable option, they conclude, is to treat the future choices of experimentalists as inputs, using them to explain past events. This isn't quite time-travel, since those past events remain hidden in quantum uncertainty, but it would be a reversal of the usual direction of causation. The authors conclude that such future-input dependent models warrant further study and development, given that they are more compatible with the theory of relativity than are traditional non-local approaches.

Can someone explain the term as it applies to philosophy and physics as well?
