The Transactional Interpretation implies that information is indeed
propagated backward in time as a response, a handshake, to an event in
the past. As I stated, I don't beleive that we live in a closed
universe, which is why we do not see any widespread phenomena of
anti-matter. Besides that, how do you know that the mathematical
treatment is not the real way it is, as opposed to our relativistic
observation of it?
