This is why I love quantum physics...

Lately, scientists have been working on experiments involving photons and slits and such suggest the mind-bending concept that the future can leak into the present. Physicist Jeff Tollaksen of George Mason University says the weak measurements may show that “something that happens now is affected by something that happens in the future. It suggests that the universe has a destiny — a destiny that is out there and coming back to us from the future.”

Well, that last part is a stretch (quantum destiny? Not so much...) but certainly gives one something to chew on for a while.
