Setting aside the single direction of time seems even spookier than action at a distance. Is it really possible that when two atoms interact with each other, the result is partially determined by my decision two minutes from now about what way I’m going to measure the result of that interaction?
Maybe? The concept is called "retrocausality", though I find the name itself to be poorly chosen, since without a single direction of time there isn't really a "before" to be retrocausal towards.
Aside from whether it’s possible, it seems inevitable. Light does not experience time. There is no time between the emission and absorption of a photon.
