Fascinating. Do physicists generally believe this? The idea that both the infinite future and the infinite past are all encoded into any snapshot of the universe is blowing my mind.
My layperson's understanding of QM always gave me the impression that it does the opposite: that it gives non-determinism a place to "hide," so-to-speak. My impression was that religious believers could use QM to argue that their unseen God, for example, does actually have a physically plausible mechanism by which he/it could intervene in the physical world. But if I'm understanding this theory correctly, unless God is a physical thing, there is no way for God or any other supernatural force to affect the physical world without itself being physical.
This theory also would seem to deny the existence of free will.
