Ruth Kastner and Curt Jaimungal explore the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics, tackling the measurement problem, retrocausality, and the quest to reconcile quantum theory with gravity. Kastner argues for a paradigm shift that embraces complexity and nuance in understanding quantum phenomena.
