Defense of Non-Linear Time:
Comprehensive Retrocausality Analysis
Integrating Experimental Evidence and Theoretical Framework
1. Reference Studies on Quantum Retrocausality
Two key studies provide the experimental foundation for quantum retrocausality:
- Nature Physics (2023): « Experimental demonstration of quantum retrocausality using delayed-choice entanglement swapping » shows future quantum states influencing past measurements.
- Physics Letters B (2024): « Experimental evidence for quantum retrocausality in entangled photon pairs » provides decisive evidence through violations of temporal Leggett-Garg inequalities.

2. QFunity Equations of Non-Linear Time
A. EPT Temporal Metric
The \(\beta \Psi(t) dt dx^4\) term allows for EPT-induced temporal loops.
B. Retrocausal Schrödinger Equation
The kernel \( K(t,t’) \) facilitates the influence of future states on the past.
3. Integration of the 2024 Study on Quantum Retrocausality
A. Synthesis of the Science Direct Study
The article « Experimental evidence for quantum retrocausality in entangled photon pairs » (2024) provides decisive experimental proof:
- Violation of temporal Leggett-Garg inequalities: \( S = 2.27 \pm 0.03 > 2 \)
- Pre-causal correlations in entangled photon pairs
- Measurable influence of future measurement settings on past results
