Albert Einstein, the most famous proponent of hidden variables, has been quoted as saying, "God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically."
It is interesting to follow the world of science and see the unfolding of it and the responses to new information from the old 'tried and true' order to the new 'proved a clue' order.
Simmy phoned Deborah for a chat, basically avoiding writing for half an hour. Deborah had gone back to her tried and true work of childcare and Simmy had gone back to her tried and true work of designing and creating home decor to encourage people to make a house a home.
The doorbell rang half an hour after Simmy and Deborah hung up the phone and Simmy spotted a very sweet baby kicking his legs in his stroller. Simmy dashed around the side of the house to find Deborah holding a lovely lilac colored box and inside was this pretty dotted teapot and creamer and sugar.
Little Jacob lifted his hand, grinned and waved at Simmy. It was just so gosh darned cute!
Simmy knew right away that the teapot gift was a little hint to start having those tea parties again. She laid out the woven lilac, raspberry and dark purple mohair blanket and placed the tea set on top.
So, in connecting the dots of this pilot wave theory gift, we could say that each of the particles follows a deterministic (but probably chaotic) trajectory which was guided by the wave function of Jacob?
So, hats off to Steinberg and his group at the University of Toronto who says, "It is not necessary to interpret the uncertainty principle as rigidly as we are often taught to do," arguing that other interpretations of quantum mechanics, such as pilot- wave theory, might "help us to think in new ways."
