Quantum Mystery # 1b: What is really happening in the world before any
measurements are made?
Answers
A: Retarded offer waves propagate from the source to potential sites for trans-
action formation, advanced confirmation waves propagate back to the source, the
source selects from among the advanced/retarded echos it receives, and a transaction
(an advanced/retarded standing wave), possibly one involving a measurement, may
form. The transaction is what is “really happening”.
