No you cannot, you must perform the quantum erasure after the particle passes through the slits but before it hits the screen,although that time can be as long as you want it to be, you just have to increase the distance between the slits in the screen.

Once a large-scale macro change has been made, such as would happen when the particle hits the screen, it would be virtually impossible to get all the trillions of particles in the screen to become identical again and cause the two universes to merge back together again.

Huh? You don't get to decide where the particle hits the screen.

Misconceptions that apparently you are unable to clearlystate. I am very well acquainted with Carroll's blog and I'll wager I've read more stuff by Carroll than you have.

Whether you've read it or not, you have not understood the one on delayed-choice quantum erasure.  Notice that he lets the particles hit the screen and then does the erasure by picking out the left-spin v. the right-spin.
