Although physics is not my strong suit and I am a biologist, knowing about retrocausality blew my mind. 🤯
Allow me to explain: In layman's words, what is retrocausality? 1/10

Retrocausality is a contentious idea because it appears to contradict some of our fundamental beliefs about the nature of time and causality. Retrocausality has been theorised to be feasible in some quantum systems, but supporting evidence is still lacking.

The possibility of time travel is one of the retrocausality's most intriguing possibilities. It might be feasible to travel back in time and alter the course of history if it were conceivable for effects to occur before their causes.
3/10

There is currently no evidence to support the possibility of retrocausality, therefore this theory is still very much in the realm of science fiction.
4/10

In general, the viability of the idea of retrocausality in the context of physics is still a matter of discussion and conjecture, and much more investigation is required.

Now, Let me explain to you Retrocausality in the simplest way possible.
6/10

In daily life, we frequently assume that events take place as a result of previous events. "Causality" is the concept behind this. For instance, if you drop a ball, gravity, not the other way around, causes the ball to fall to the ground.

On the other side, retrocausality proposes that the past may influence the future. This implies that events that take place in the future may have some bearing on past events.
8/10

Retrocausality, on the other hand, contends that the past can impact the future. This suggests that occurrences in the future may have an impact on happenings in the past.
9/10

In short, retrocausality is the concept that the future can influence the past, which is contrary to how we often think about how things happen in our daily lives.
