jjalexand@yahoo.com 5-Jun-2006: Understanding: Surely if each particle's position and motion is fully defined by the position and motion of all other particles ('in some light cone'), then all particles' motions in the future are fully predictable, and the future is fully predictable (within quantum limits?). Is this really so 'fantastic'.

The point is that the current motions of a particle, such an electron in an atom, including all its electromagnetic emission and absorption events, depends symmetrically on the past and future light cones. It's a non-causal view, but they still managed to cook up a reason to time to appear to be in the right direction in spite of the symmetry of all the laws. Dicklyon 07:15, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Dear all, thanks for having improved my article, mainly my English, I'm sorry for that. Anyway I'll even be glad if you say me how much the article is clear or which sections are not clear / need to be improved according to you. So If you have time please let me know what you can understand reading the article /suggestions / staff like that, both writing here or on my user page in the discussion section. Thanks again.

[edit] Some links

Some things I've found that might be useful for info and refs:
