One interpretation by some physicists with Cramer's transactional model, implies that information is coming from the future, and handshaking with the paste to create the present. Price's old book seems to imply this as well.

No. If there are no faster-than-light (FTL) influences, then how does your interpretation address the EPR paradox ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_paradox )? As a previously mentioned, according to Bell's theorem, there is only one known solution to the paradox that does not involve FTL influences, and that is Everett's theory of many-worlds. Huw Price's time symmetry also solves the paradox. Is this the same as, or related to Cramer's transactional interpretation? No, it's a lot simpler. It doesn't add any new physics, and removes one assumption. Bell agreed with him on this, so I think it's probably a valid result even if not widely known. I'm not sure that Price's ontology is intended as a "rival" to Everett, however, although it may introduce modifications. Interesting, do you have any sources you can point me to on this? I'd start with "Time's arrow and Archimedes' point" by Huw Price. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
