Physics distinguishing future from past

RE: Physics distinguishing future from past

I have been having a hard time finding the quote where Sheldrake makes the claim about Whitehead's theories. I don't think I imagined the mention of the future causing the past, but I haven't been able to find it easily.

Here is an article that might cover the idea (based only on the title):
https://whiteheadresearch.org/occasions/...rality.pdf

I have noticed in other cases that Sheldrake isn't too worried about skepticism, so I have been suspicious about this Whitehead claim.

EDIT: After skimming the above link, I realized it isn't very scientific, so I don't know. Probably this is just people who don't understand something complicated like (QM and Whitehead's philosophy) claiming it supports their pet theories. Tongue
