There is all kinds of evidence for the finite nature of a moment of time and a finite moment of time necessarily entangles some amount of what we call the future. In other words, what happens in the future does affect the present for some short coherence time.

The past only exists in object fossil records, which are matter spectra and are objective properties that people can agree about. Science measures a great many different kinds of matter spectra specifically to quantify the nature of an object. For example, the color red is an objective matter spectrum. So objects exist as frozen fossil matter spectra that define how that object is put together.
However, objects also exist as pulses of matter in time and that is the crux of the uncertainty principle. An object as a pulse in time seems to have a knife edge existence of very high frequency oscillations of amplitude with well-defined phase. However, we can only measure the matter spectrum of an object as they evolve in time and from those finite and objective matter spectra, we can only subjectively deduce the instantaneous amplitude of an object pulse in time.
In order to make that deduction we need some kind of device that can process the matter spectra into a model of reality and make predictions based on that alogorithm. Typically we use a very handy neural algorithm called consciousness to make predictions, but each neural computer is slightly different and processes the matter spectra in slightly different ways. We call this our subjective reality since it depends on that nature of subjective qualia. For example, how we feel about a red object is subjective even though the matter spectrum of a red object is objective.
However, when we measure the next finite matter spectrum, we find that we can only predict the time evolution of the object time pulse within an uncertainty. Each matter spectrum takes a finite time to record and during that finite time, not only the object evolves, but the observer evolves as well. The spectrometer as observer is therefore part of the observation in an irreducible recursion.
Thus the spectrometer and object together define a finite moment of time and with our neural spectrometer that we call a mind, that moment of time is about a second. During a neural second, we choose a future based on how we feel and all of our possible futures recursively affect how we feel, which then affects which future we choose, and so on.
This uncertainty principle or recursion for neural matter has a correlation size that involves all of the sensient entanglements of our lifetime. We choose futures based not only on the matter spectra that we remember as our fossil past, but also based on all of the possible futures of all humanity and the planet and even of the universe. The uncertainty principle is not only a quantum rag doll, as has been so aptly put--the uncertainty principle entangles all of humanity and the planet and universe into choice as well.
This entanglement of the future and past along with uncertainty is what we call free will and this is what defines creativity as well. Creativity is a neural entanglement of many the possible futures of our own time pulse with the fossil matter spectra that define that our past as well as with the many possible futures of many other time pulses.
