Scientists from the University of Queensland, Australia, have used single particles of light (photons) to simulate quantum particles travelling through time. They showed that one photon can pass through a wormhole and then interact with its older self. Their findings were published in Nature Communications.I had a precognitive dream that came true 3 years later - in great detail. When I had the dream it was more real than being awake. I was keeping a journal and so at 2:30 am I wrote it down in detail and that I thought it was predicting the future. I forgot all about it until 3 years later I was looking at this photo and I got this uncanny sensation and suddenly remembered the dream. I drove to my parent's house to get my journal where I had stored it. Sure enough - the dream was Native indigenous activists with my friend activists standing on the roof of a house, holding a banner, to protect a sacred forest. That is a very specific dream and that was exactly the photo from a newspaper article for the "Minnehaha Free State." It was featured in the Earth First! Journal and at the time I had the dream I was the local contact listed in the Earth First! Journal. Then I got more into qigong meditation and I had many precognitive visions. Sometimes they could be telepathy. What Fred Alan Wolf is talking about is what Stuart Hameroff describes in detail in a paper he got published. Here it is - he goes into the same science for precognition and describes it just like Fred alan Wolf.
Stuart Hameroff:
How Victor decides to measure the two particles (as an entangled pair, or as separable particles) determines whether Alice and Bob observe them as entangled (showing quantum correlations) or separable (showing classical correlations). This happens even if Victor decides after Alice's and Bob's devices have measured them (but before Alice and Bob consciously view the results). Thus, conscious choice affects behavior of previously measured, but unobserved, events.
More hereRelativity shows that if quantum entanglement influences are able to travel FTL = faster than light (which they are, as Aspect has shown) then they must also be able to travel backward in time and influence the past (which they do in this experiment). That's all fine, apparently, so long as there's no immediately decode-able information transfer FTL or into the past. So you can't telephone your younger self and create a paradox.
It's very weird but apparently the universe permits anything that doesn't make paradoxes, including FTL and backwards time travel of certain quantum influences (which are intertwined in relativity).
The delayed choice Quantum Eraser is about the "choice" the photon "makes" not a choice we make.The term choice, which I believe is due to Wheeler, was chosen because his goal was to disprove that a photon can "choose" to be a particle or "choose" to be a wave. He was successful (so we must view it as both unless we force it to make a choice, more on that below). It turns out we the experimenter, cannot make any choices here, if we do the experiment fails! Once you get your head around this distinction you see how things like "time being an illusion", we can now do "faster than light communications", and such no longer are an option. This doesn't mean the result isn't amazing though!
Recall in entangled unto annihilation that if a photon is born entangled to another photon it remains so until death (annihilation). For example if one photon has vertical polarization its twin will have vertical polarization. [Small nit: This is only true in the reference frame of the atom that birthed the photons. In the experimenter's reference there is an unknown rotation. This is why Bell's experiment needs to involve random averages.] If there are two photons that are entangled and one dies we might be able to infer the polarization of the twin. The delayed choice cleverly does this.
