As for quantum stochastic retrodependency (which physicists avoid like vampires avoid sunlight), it simplifies the "puzzles" of QM, meaning that, for the most part, the articles you see talking about the "spooky action at a distance" or "many wolds" of QM you can dump in the trashcan and save a lot of time!
If quantum computers become a reality, you might be able to see it at work in a computer you could program. @philiphrift On Tuesday, June 4, 2019 at 4:06:47 PM UTC-5, spudb...@aol.com wrote: > > Sure, Huw Price, Times Arrow.
