Editing Precognition (section)

===Violation of causality===
Precognition would violate the principle of antecedence ([[causality]]); that is, that an effect does not happen before its cause.<ref>[[Mario Bunge|Bunge, Mario]]. (1983). ''Treatise on Basic Philosophy: Volume 6: Epistemology & Methodology II: Understanding the World''. Springer. pp. 225–226. {{ISBN|978-9027716347}}</ref><ref name="hyman217" /> Information passing backwards in time ([[retrocausality]]) would need to be carried by physical particles doing the same. Experimental evidence from high-energy physics suggests that this cannot happen. There is therefore no direct justification for precognition from a physics-based approach.<ref name=":1">[[John G. Taylor|Taylor, John]]. (1980).

Precognition would also contradict "most of the neuroscience and psychology literature, from electrophysiology and neuroimaging to temporal effects found in psychophysical research."<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Schwarzkopf | first1 = Samuel | year = 2014 | title = We Should Have Seen This Coming | journal = Frontiers in Human Neuroscience | volume = 8 | page = 332 | pmc=4034337 | pmid=24904372 | doi=10.3389/fnhum.2014.00332| doi-access = free }}</ref>
