What&#8217;s more, they need not invoke black holes, wormholes, extra dimensions or other exotic implements of time travel. It should all be doable with the help of a state-of-the-art optics workbench and the bizarre yet familiar tricks of quantum particles. If retrocausality is confirmed &#8212; and that is a huge if &#8212; it would overturn our most cherished notions about the nature of cause and effect and how the universe works.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/cgi-bin\/article.cgi?f=\/c\/a\/2007\/01\/21\/ING5LNJSBF1.DTL\">Link<\/A><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, this one makes my head hurt a little.
