Photons released in the future are indeed detected in the present...update!Here's an update from the Future Photon experiment.
More when I get a grip on the subtleties!

Kudos for persevering with this exciting project. Sounds like you're definitely getting robust effects, but of a fairly unpredictable nature. Your description of the oscillatory nature is resonant to effects found from Maier's lab on PK results: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5872141/. Look forward to next update.

This is huge. Congratulations on pursing this. I'd love to hear your thoughts about what sort of experiments you could do to try to rule out any other explanations.

Yes! I have to do some more experiments to understand the effect and then think on this -- but it's hard to think of alternative explanations until I really get the effect clear in my mind.

I'm also unable to really wrap my mind around this yet, it's very exciting. These results should excite everyone so hopefully we'll have a lots of help unwrapping the mystery.

About This Project

Are we catching photons traveling in time?

Northwestern University

We plan to replicate and extend unpublished pilot results suggesting that photons to be emitted in the future affect interference patterns detected in the past. This may be a new example of quantum retrocausality (QR), in which choices in a quantum system seem to influence events in the past. This form of QR may be a candidate mechanism for precognition, the psychological and biological access to information about random future events.
