Retrocausality Quantum Physicists have proven that, under special Circumstances, current events can have an effect on past events. This is also called the Observer Effect. In Quantum Physics, observing light hitting a surface (the light must be moving in one of two paths) causes retroactive causality because the light had to make a path choice before you observed it but couldn't have chosen before you observed it. That means by observing the light, you forced it to choose a pathway in the past. Experiments have proven this true in factions of seconds but scientists believe that observing light moving around large gravity-wells could cause retrocausality millions of years into the past. - iFunny
