This applies to theories around consciousness too. I heard a discussion recently on the idea of retro-causality, summed up in the phrase "Tomorrow's Elephant in the Garden causes tonight's dream about an Elephant in the Garden"
This has been noted in things like the Global Consciousness Project, that picked up major spikes in global awareness just prior to the events of 9/11. I think the non-locality of consciousness is increasingly evident in the mass of anomalous experience reporting, such as NDE's, and Paranormal encounters.
Also consider the relativity of Time as it applies to different perceptions of reality. Insects and Hummingbirds operate on an accelerated timeframe compared to Humans. Their reaction time is measurably faster than ours, which means we can think of the way they perceive time as slowed down relative to how we experience it. Trees and plants exist at an entirely different timescale. Some trees have been growing for 5,000 years. Though they lack a central nervous system and brain, with the idea of Non-Locality of Consciousness suggests Plants may have a living spirit, but their nature is unrecognizable to us because they exist on timescales that dwarf our understanding and experience of reality.
As far as physics, I think most of us are aware that the standard model we are taught has some severe plot holes. I believe in a Plasma/Electric Universe model that follows the basic physics laid out in the Primer Fields series. All matter and consciousness exist as wavelengths emanating throughout the ether, eternally and inextricably connected to the whole.
