Very intriguing indeed.

But the title about the future affecting the present is a bit misleading. AFAIK, all these weird quantum effects only pertain to subatomic particles. At the macroscopic level, where we actually live, QM collapses into ordinary physics.

Or so I thought.

Yea, but it's only random chance that it "collapses" into ordinary physics

Exactly the point of the article. Physicists really don't like the idea that particles only decide what to do when they "realize" they're being observed.

I like Einstein's quote about quantum physics - 'Spooky action at a distance'.
