Readership: Physicists interested in foundational issues of time, foundations of quantum mechanics, and the relationship of consciousness to the physical world; historians and philosophers of science.

Traditional causation posits that the past alone influences the present. In principle, however, the basic laws of physics permit the future an equal measure of influence: retrocausation. This symposium explores theoretical developments and experimental evidence for retrocausation. It is unique in stressing recent experiments in this exciting and potentially important new field.
