Public donates to UW scientist to fund backward-in-time research

John Cramer - A University of Washington is studying quantum retrocausality or more precisely the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox. It is well known that Einstein did not like quantum theory. He considered it too much "spooky action at a distance". Cramer is looking into a part of the paradox called "entanglement" and "non-local communication. Einstein was uncomfortable with this particular portion of quantum theory because it seemed to break the speed of light law. Cramer suggests that this might not be the case, but instead the particles may travel backwards in time. This is the area of his research that he is asking the public to fund, which, surprisingly, they are!
