 According to the transactional interpretation, since there are two possible outcomes (detection at absorber A or detection at absorber B), there will be two confirmation waves sent back from the future, one for each absorber. Furthermore, since it is equally probable that the \(\beta\)-particle be detected at either absorber, the amplitudes of these confirmation waves should be equal. However, a confirmation wave from absorber B can only be sent back to the emitter if absorber B is located on the left. For this to be the case, absorber A must not have detected the \(\beta\)-particle and thus the outcome of the experiment must already have been decided. The incidence of a confirmation wave from absorber B at the emitter ensures that the \(\beta\)-particle is to be sent to the left, even though the amplitude of this wave implies a probability of a half of this being the case. As Maudlin (2011: 184) states so succinctly, “Cramer’s theory collapses”.
