"BROOKLYN" QUANTUM MEETUP TAKES A POSITION

Details

This week I'd like to take a stand against Bohmian mechanics. I know that it is much beloved by some of our members, but I'd like to give a candid, admittedly subjective take on why it, and deterministic theories in general, leave me cold. I won't go deeply into the mathematics of the theory itself, other than to touch on a few salient points, so if anyone would like to elaborate on it in greater detail, by all means. I've already prepared my notes on the subject, which can be found here:

I encourage you to take a look at it before hand, and also to read the essay "Law without Law," by John Wheeler, linked at the end.
