The classic "Bell's Theorem" of Clauser, Holt, Shimony and Horne tells us that we must give up at least one of: (1) objective reality (aka "hidden variables"); (2) locality; or (3) time-forwards macroscopic statistics (aka "causality"). The orthodox Copenhagen version of physics gives up the first. The many-worlds theory of Everett and Wheeler gives up the second. The backwards-time theory of physics (BTP) gives up the third. Contrary to conventional wisdom, empirical evidence strongly favors Everett-Wheeler over orthodox Copenhagen. BTP has two major variations -- a many-worlds version, and a neoclassical version of partial differential equations (PDE) in the spirit of Einstein. Section 2 discusses quantum measurement according to BTP, focusing on how we represent condensed matter objects like polarizers in a Bell's Theorem experiment or in tests of Hawking's cosmology. The Backwards Time Telegraph, though speculative, is discussed.
