"So there's a backward-going trajectory and a forward-going trajectory and if we look at them both together and weight the information in both equally, we get something we call a hindsight prediction, or "retrodiction."

...it suggests that in the quantum world time runs both backward and forward whereas in the classical world it only runs forward.

It's as if what we did today, changed what we did yesterday. And as this analogy suggests, the experimental results have spooky implications for time and causality -- at least in microscopic world to which quantum mechanics applies.

if they ever develop a true quantum computer it may be able to answer your question before you ask it

I love quantum stuff
it's usually over my head

But the books I've read that I was able to understand make it such an interesting topic
