I was watching Through the Wormhole : Science Channel
They were talking about Retrocausality, and it made me think about the Karma theory. I know I am probably worrying too far in advance, but just a thought.
Karma is the belief held by Hindu religions that a person's actions cause certain effects in the current life and/or in future life, positively or negatively.
Causality (also referred to as causation is the relationship between an event (the cause) and a second event (the effect), where the second event is understood as a consequence of the first. Causality is a basic assumption of science.
Retrocausality (also called retro-causation, retro-chronal causation, backward causation, and similar terms) is any of several hypothetical phenomena or processes that reverse causality, allowing an effect to occur before its cause. Ever wish you could reach back in time and change the past? Maybe you'd like to take back an unfortunate voice mail message, or rephrase what you just said to your boss. Or perhaps you've even dreamed of tweaking the outcome of yesterday's lottery to make yourself the winner.
Researchers are on the verge of experiments that will finally hold retrocausality's feet to the fire by attempting to send a signal to the past. What's more, they need not invoke black holes, wormholes, extra dimensions or other exotic implements of time travel. It should all be doable with the help of a state-of-the-art optics workbench and the bizarre yet familiar tricks of quantum particles. If retrocausality is confirmed -- and that is a huge if -- it would overturn our most cherished notions about the nature of cause and effect, how the universe works, and consequently our Karma theory.
