In the EPR experiment, each measurement addresses the question "What spinvalue has this particle along this orientation?" The outcome then proves thatthe spin value has been affected by the distant experimenter's choice of spinorientation. We propose a new setting where the question is reversed: "What isthe orientation along which this particle has this spin value?" It turns outthat the orientation is similarly subject to nonlocal effects. To enable thereversal, each particle's interaction with a beam-splitter at t1 leaves itsspin orientation superposed. Then at t2, the experimenter selects an "up" or"down" spin value for this yet-undefined orientation. Only after the twoparticles undergo this procedure, the two measurements are completed, eachparticle having its spin value along a definite orientation. By Bell's theorem,it is now the "choice" of orientation that must be nonlocally transmittedbetween the particles upon completing the measurement. This choice, however,has preceded the experimenter's selection. This seems to lend support for thetime-symmetric interpretations of QM, where retrocausality plays a significantrole. We conclude with a brief comparison between these interpretations andtheir traditional alternatives, Copenhagen, Bohmian mechanics and the ManyWorlds Interpretation.
