Quote:The problem with those deterministic models (Bohmian mechanics) is that they only work for classical quantum theory. Once you go to the special relativistic side (quantum field theories), they fail miserably. So, effects like spin and anti-matter are not explained by such theories.

Also, Bohmian mechanics violates the 'local' aspect: there is faster then light signaling, which in a relativistic situation means reverse-time causality.

What about Many-Worlds Interpretation? Which is what Sean Carroll believes is the correct one (not Bohm's interpretation).

Well, the Everette interpretation also isn't deterministic. There's no way to know which way the world will split for you. It has the advantage of taking the Schrodinger equation seriously, but so does decoherence.
