Backward Causation and the EPR Paradox

Abstract
Backward causation in which future events affect the past is formalized in a way consistent with Special Relativity and shown to restore locality to nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. It can explain the correlations of the EPR paradox without using hidden variables. It also restores time-symmetry to microphysics. Quantum Mechanics has the right properties to allow for backward causation. The new model is probably untestable experimentally but it has profound philosophical implications concerning reality.
