Hello Rabbi,
Have you ever heard of the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed-choice_quantum_eraser
In general, this is an experiment in which the possibility of “erasing” information about the path of the particle after it has already hit the screen is tested, and yet this affects the question of whether an interference pattern is obtained or not.

The main problem that arises from the experiment is:
How is it possible that the decision later in time whether to preserve or erase the information affects what happened in the past , that is, whether the particle created an interference pattern or not?

Best regards,

I’m not familiar with it and it’s hard for me to get into it. From past experience, these claims are usually reckless and open to interpretation. Especially when applied to philosophical concepts.

I think there are videos on YouTube that explain the matter,
The particle has already hit the screen, but the information itself is not accessible (swallowed in noise) until you measure in the present.
