   I have no ideas about how to introduce free will into a   
   framework of deterministic calculations that the universe   
   appears to need.  Chaos can be introduced into calculations   
   using non linear equations but chaos is not free will? One   
    would need guided-by-free-will use of non-linear equations.   
     Anyway, I am hanging up my Physics hat and at 73 years   
   of age feel that I am now too old to work hard enough on physics.   
      
   You mention testing.  I have obviously thought, but without   
    success, about how to test whether antiparticles are   
   travelling backwards in time.  For an antiparticle, under my   
    assumption, the polarisation vector changes from a random   
    vector to vector d or -d (= detector setting vector) at   
   measurement, in the antiparticle's own, reversed time   
   direction.  This appears to be a change from vector d or -d   
   to a random polarisation in the forward time direction.   
   Adding extra test measurements before or after the main   
   measurement would always seem to me to interfere too   
   much and ruin the test.   
      
   I am glad you responded to Tom as I could not have   
    responded so well.   
      
   Tom:  "The fact that the particles at B and C have a   
    property that is correlated is curious"   
      
   Alice:  curiouser and curiouser   
   Bob:    seems darned well spooky to me   
      
   My own speculation about Susskind's wormhole   
    connection is that particles are in dS while antiparticles   
    are in AdS.  This is complicated in my preon model   
    where each and every particle has both forwards and   
   backwards-in-time preons within it.  Entanglement   
   (of particle and antiparticle) is probably involved in   
    construction of spacetime metrics as the metric forms   
   in the zone where both dS and AdS meet which has   
   minimal curvature. But that speculation is probably   
    rubbish.  Although most particles are matter, they   
   overall have an equal number of (my) preons and   
   antipreons within them.  So the loss of antimatter is   
   caused by spontaneous symmetry breaking in forming   
    elementary particles from preons.
