Bohmian Mechanics – Pilot Wave Theory

Sunday, April 7, 2019 • Duration 01:11:35

Zak and Derek follow up their Bell’s Theorm and EPR discussion with a survey of Bohmian mechanics, often called pilot wave theory, one of many interpretations of quantum mechanics.

Bell’s Theorem and EPR

Thursday, March 21, 2019 • Duration 01:13:04

Zak and Derek discuss nothing less than the fundamental nature of reality. They start with the arguments made in the Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen paper from 1935, which were then tackled by John Bell in 1964 with Bell’s Theorem and Bell inequalities.
