. Pilot waves, Bohmian metaphysics, and the foundations of quantum mechanics M.D. Towler (2009)
[online]
Infamously, Nobel physicist Brian Josephson was "uninvited" since he considers paranormal spiritual abilities to be real! haha. I know they are real and am very glad that Nobel physicist Josephson has nicely responded to my emails about music.
As Nobel Physicist Josephson quotes - "people applying for jobs" would not risk attending the de Broglie conference if he was there! Amazing how strong the fear is in the "real" world. haha.
But they did include a talk by him - as a "supplementary" video that he sent in from his office. From Mike Towler:
De Broglie-Bohm theory
(a.k.a. Bohmian mechanics, pilot-wave theory, Bohm interpretation, causal interpretation, etc..)
What is de Broglie-Bohm theory (at least in its basic form)?
One might say it is the original interpretation of QM developed by de Broglie from
1923-1927, and rediscovered and improved by David Bohm in 1952.
It is also a new theory (di erent axioms, new predictions) and a mathematical
reformulation of QM equivalent in status to, say, Feynman's path-integral theory.
Why are people interested in it?
It shows that QM can simply be interpreted as the statistical mechanics of particles
with a non-classical dynamics. QM does not have to be `weird'.
It directly resolves all paradoxes of orthodox QM, in particular the measurement
problem/wave collapse, all without the usual massively expanded ontology of
parallel worlds, shadow universes, multiple intersecting realities etc..
The quality of its explanation is greatly superior to the orthodox theory (which
anyway rejects the need for explanations on principle).
If adopted widely, it would greatly reduce the amount of time spent trying to
explain the unexplainable to novices.
It can be used to do interesting calculations based on `quantum trajectories' (there
is a community of physical chemists who do this).
So as Mike Towler points out - quoting John Bell:
Two-slit experiment with electrons
Pilot-wave theory: while each particle track passes through
just one slit, the wave passes through both; the interference
profi le that consequently develops in the wave generates
similar pattern in the trajectory guided by the wave.
"And so influenced that the particle does not go where the waves cancel out, but is attracted to where they cooperate. This idea seems to me so natural and simple, to resolve the wave-particle dilemma in such a clear and ordinary way, that it is a great mystery to me that it was so generally ignored." John BellThat is exactly how I feel.
Towler goes on to detail an "antisymmetric wave function" - yes noncommutative!
Then Towler explains that the quantum degeneracy pressure - that most recently caused the collapsing neutron stars to emit spacetime gravitational waves - this mysterious quantum degeneracy force is caused by the noncommutative pilot waves!
Antony Valentini then shows that superluminal signals can exist under "quantum nonequilibrium" conditions!
So then written for a Masters of Science physics degree, mentored by Antony Valentini, this pdf is very clearly written! Amazing philosophy of science found on de Broglie's pilot wave model.
The author, Philipp Roser, notes that the Stern-Gerlach Experiment demonstrates how spin is actually from the Pilot Wave field, and not the particle.
Oh he presented his research as a video talk!
As we saw in Step 1, the nonlocal influences in the EPR-B experiment only concern the spin orientation not the motion of the particles themselves. Indeed only spins are entangled in the wave function (27) not positions and motions like in the initial EPR experiment. This is a key point in the search for a physical explanation of nonlocal influences.Stern-Gerlach Experiment analysis
And so what does this mean?
Spin is noncommutative phase as the Ether! Albert Einstein:
The simplest explanation of this nonlocal influence is to reintroduce the concept of ether (or the preferred frame) but a new format given by Lorentz-Poincaré and by Einstein in 1920 [69]: “Recapitulating, we may say that according to the general theory of relativity space is endowed with physical qualities; in this sense, therefore, there exists an ether. According to the general theory of relativity space without ether is unthinkable; [sic] for in such space there not only would be no propagation of light, but also no possibility of existence for standards of space and time (measuring-rods and clocks), nor therefore any space-time intervals in the physical sense. But this ether may not be thought of as endowed with the quality characteristic of ponderable media, as consisting of parts which may be tracked through time. The idea of motion may not be applied to it.”
Taking into account the new experiments, especially Aspect’s experiments, Popper [70, page XVIII] defends a similar view in 1982:
“I feel not quite convinced that the experiments are correctly interpreted; but if they are, we just have to accept action at a distance. I think (with J.P. Vigier) that this would of course be very important, but I do not for a moment think that it would shake, or even touch, realism. Newton and Lorentz were realists and accepted action at a distance; and Aspect’s experiments would be the first crucial experiment between Lorentz’s and Einstein’s interpretation of the Lorentz transformations.”
