Quantum Physics: Questions
#17
RE: Quantum Physics: Questions
I only recently heard of Pilot wave theory (literally 4 days ago). I read the article you linked, and pilot wave theory does seem to have extraordinary explanation powers. However, quantum mechanics did graduate to quantum field theory which describes multiple particle interactions and relativistic effects very neatly.

For pilot wave theory to become a scientific standard, it first need to produce new or better measurements. Second, it needs to incorporate particle creation and anniliation mechanics. Third, get special relativity in there.

So the physicist working on pilot wave theory still have a long way to go. I personally hope they succeed, but I'm not holding my breath.
