Can the Future Influence the Past? Retrocausality in Quantum Theory | Ruth Kastner
Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal
Unraveling the Measurement Problem
This chapter explores the complexities of the measurement problem in conventional quantum mechanics, using Schrödinger's cat to illustrate the difficulties in distinguishing between measurement interactions and non-measurements. It introduces the transactional interpretation, focusing on how it redefines measurement events through the interplay of emitters and absorbers. Ultimately, the chapter emphasizes the inherent indeterminism in quantum mechanics, contrasting it with traditional deterministic views of science.
