If the future or present influence the past, it undermines scientific study, including, ironically, the hypothesis of the article, because disruption from the future would be an unknown variable in every experiment. It's pretty hard to understand what can happen outside the dimensions we are constrained by.

If the past is malleable, we could keep using the scientific method, but with humility, like: "The experiment's data support my claim so long as there was not unknown interference from actors unbound by linear time, space, and matter."

That sentiment is not too far from the attitude of many of us, rational people, who believe that in addition to humanly measurable causes, there are also supernatural or spiritual realities to consider.
