deadman325-deactivated20111020 asked: With your last post, hadn't the QM guys done exactly the same things decades ago? EPR Paradox, Bell's Theorem, Schrodinger's Cat; John Archibald Wheeler did the same photon experiment...they're all the observer-participance experiments...how could Hawking not know about the fundamental paradoxes of QM?

I assume you’re discussing the double-slit and the two-states-at-once deal with Schrodinger’s cat and particle entanglement and the defeat of locality, etc. Naturally Hawking would know about that stuff (I assume that quote is rather old), but I think the new information the article is bringing up is the possibility of past occurrences being influenced by future events, which is what the last paragraph is discussing.
