Magdalena Astronomy Club - Interpretation of time diffraction

 Can the future interacting with the past create the present?

In classic Newton mechanics answer is no. It is contradict the causality principle. But in quantum mechanics situation is much more complex. 

Just read article "Double-slit time diffraction at optical frequencies" which was published in Nature Physics April 03, 2023. Photons in future and past coming through Double split in time are creating diffraction in the present, and this is not theory - it is result of experiment!

I tried to explain it. First thinking about fantasy books which I read when was young. In this book people go to the past and after that return to the present and see that present was changed. Second thinking about retrocausality. It is opposite effect when the future changes the present. But interaction of the future and the past?

In the same time I thinking about Astronomical Club in Magdalena. And in some moment I got how to explain time diffraction. The future is The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), past is history of Magdalena city, near VLA, and current is the Astronomical club.

The VLA, Magdalena's history, and the Astronomical Club of Magdalena all illustrate how the future can interact with the past to create the present.

The VLA's cutting-edge technology builds upon the advancements of the past while paving the way for future discoveries.

Magdalena's history shapes the present of the town and its people, and the Astronomical Club of Magdalena continues to appreciate and learn from the knowledge of the past while using modern technology to explore and understand the cosmos.

Ultimately, the future and the past are two sides of the same coin, each influencing and shaping the present in unique and meaningful ways.
