Abstract

The Transactional Interpretation describes quantum wave functions traveling in both time directions in an even-handed and symmetric way. From this one is led to ask about the origins of the macroscopic “arrow of time” that is evident in the everyday world. This question is complicated by the presence of at least five seemingly independent “arrows of time” that can be identified in the physical world. Let me briefly review them.
