A new study appears to prove retrocausality, which is the phenomenon that the future decides the present. Photons behave differently depending on the duration of a future event in which they will be involved, and there’s a correlation between photons’ behavior and the moon’s phases, according to the paper by Julia Mossbridge, PhD, published in Applied Physics Research at the Canadian Center of Science and Education,
Neuroscientist and transpersonal psychologist Mossbridge, who is a leading research on the concept of time, has been able to confirm retrocausality in a year-long experiment measuring photons’ behaviour. The results demonstrate that photons act differently depending on the duration of an event they are to be a part of in the future.
“The universe seems to use event duration (how long a flashlight is turned on, let’s say) as a primitive or fundamental feature of that event. Therefore, even before the flashlight is turned off, and even before the decision to turn off the flashlight is made, the photons behave differently depending on the future duration of the event”, Mossbridge explained.
In her paper, Mossbridge speculates that “duration would be a fundamental feature of any object like spin or mass”. More poetically, she suggests that “each event of a different duration may have its own distinct signature woven through the universal calculation of spacetime”.
Retrocausality, or at least the appearance of such, is not unknown in quantum mechanics. Mossbridge notes that the much desired computational speed that can be achieved in quantum computing is, in fact, due to retrocausation.
A second finding in the study, independent of the retrocausation effect, is a documented variability in photon counts directly mirroring lunar phases.
“Mean pre-decision photon counts varied smoothly with lunar phase in the pre-filtered data, with an extreme valley at the first day of the new moon, and peaks at waning gibbous and first quarter phases”, the study says.
The variability was statistically significant and “suggests that photon emission and/or absorption is related to lunar phase in a reliable way”.
Correlation is not causation, Mossbridge cautions, “but because photons on earth in an enclosed optical box are unlikely to affect phases of the moon, the strong implication from this result is that lunar phase affects photons via a mechanism that remains to be understood.”
Possible explanations suggested in the study are either gravitational or magnetospheric influences that vary with the moon cycle.
Changes in moon luminance (apparent brightness) would be an obvious possibility, but the dataset shows troughs during both the new and full moons, which provide very different luminance levels.
Perhaps this surprising result offers one clue to explaining the countless accounts of how the moon’s phases affect humans in different ways?
