Abstract
The Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics explains the Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) experiments with “spooky action at a distance” and nonlocal wavefunction collapse. A time-symmetric and retrocausal interpretation of quantum mechanics explains the same experiments without spooky action at a distance or nonlocal wavefunction collapse. An experiment that can distinguish between the Copenhagen and Time-Symmetric Interpretations is described.
