Hi David H,
Your posts are interesting as usual.

It's even stronger than that. The future can alter the past in physical
and biological (conscious) systems.
Wheeler's delayed choice experiment measures the location of fotons
AFTER the fotons (should) have passed the slits. But still the
wavepattern dissapears on the screen. So the quantum potential is a
whole timespan in which 'past', 'present' and 'future' has no meaning,
and this you can deduce from the collapsed patterns on the screen.
The future can also change the past for us humans. In a way, if you have
a precognitive dream (dream about a future event) you can also describe
this as a now-event (the actualilty) that influences the past (the
dream).
We're made of matter (or levels) that have these properties, but there
is scientific evidence of e.g. retrokinesis, people influencing decay of
radioactive particles (which should be random according to conventional
explanation) AFTER they have been recorded. This would mean that people
can influence the collapse of a wavefunction in the past (or that the
collapse of this wavefunction in the now is influenced by a conscious
observer in the future), or that in unobserved states, the wavefunction
collapses only when people observe it consciously. The latter
explanation would mean that a tape-recorder with recorded 0's and 1's is
in a superposition until someone plays the information on it, (which
then is collapsed in nonrandom directions by the conscious observer.)
I've tried to locate an article by Dick Bierman on the web, but the
links are broken. But people like him and Dean Radin and all have some
convincing amount of experiments on this, if you're interested you could
look on the web with these names.
Greetings, Patrick
