Reply To: Possibilist Transactional Interpretation

[Michael B. Heaney]

Hi Ruth,

Thanks for your post. I’m now reading your interesting book “Understanding our Unseen Reality: Solving Quantum Riddles.” Near the end of Chapter 2, you make the point that “quantum objects are wave-like entities that need to be described by complex numbers…Anything observable in the world of appearance must be described by real numbers…” and therefore quantum objects exist outside of spacetime. Is this an accurate reading? If so, it seems to rule out any realist interpretation of quantum mechanics. Is this your viewpoint? Ken, what are your thoughts about this?

Regards,

Michael
