(4) The closest to a true account of quantum behaviour and its cause yet to be published was argued for in two papers by David Bohm entitled "A Suggested Interpretation of the Quantum Theory in Terms of 'Hidden Variables' I & II"(1952). Abraham, "Two-Dimensional Time-Dependent Quantum-Mechanical Scattering Event," American Journal of Physics, 52(1), 1984 pp. David Bohm's so-called Causal Interpretation of quantum mechanics is the most famous non-local hidden variable theory (there are a number of others). Initial conditions are never completely initial. The Quantum Theory of Motion: An Account of the de Broglie-Bohm Causal Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. Hiley, ' The Undivided Universe: an Ontological Interpretation of Quantum Theory,' Routledge & Kegan Paul, London, 1993; Detlef Durr, Sheldon Goldstein, and Nino Zanghi, 'Quantum Physics Without Quantum Philosophy,' p. The formalism of the quantum motion is derived from the causal interpretation of D. All three of these concepts begin to take on meaning as we zoom out and consider a collection of the molecules and account for their motions — as we transition from a microscopic scale to a macroscopic scale. This account was a more sophisticatd version of De Broglie's Pilot Wave account, and was shown to be consistent with all the experimental evidence from which the original quantum mechanics was derived. Abstract: 1) Confronting the semantics of Einstein's physics and conventional interpretations of Quantum Physics prevents history to be completely causal. Like any physical theory, of course quantum mechanics might someday be superseded by an even deeper theory. However, the theory remains non-local. Bohm's theory reproduces the predictions of quantum mechanics without resorting to Based on an idea from Louis de Broglie, a hidden “guiding wave” traveling faster than light governs the motion of a particle. I welcome all comments — pro and con. De Broglie, in which the quantum wave generates an effective potential (a sum of obstacle and quantum potentials) that the particles follow.
