it, it's tantalizing.
5:53
It, as I said, it's as if there's something going on behind the scenes that is hidden from us, and, and to me, it felt like a conspiracy.You know, why, why would, why would it be that it, it's as if relativity...
6:06
I mean, of course, according to relativity, you're not allowed to have signals going faster than light.
6:11
So, you know, if, if you have things communicating faster than light, that's a b- supposed to be a big problem.
6:16
But in practice, relativity is all right because there's no actual signal.

Yeah.

Um, so it feels like there-
28:34
So th- so this theory, you know, there have been repeated attempts to shut down this theory.
28:42
Um, and quite why, I'm, I'm not sure I fully understand why.
28:47
But the first, you know, um, episode one, as it were, uh, was de Broglie in the '20s.
28:55
It, it is a fact that at the 1927 Solvay Conference, he presented the full theory, the pilot wave theory of a system of many particles.
29:06
Um, and you know, he showed how it could explain interference and diffraction.
29:12
He showed how it could explain scattering.

29:51
Um, contrary to widespread mythology, he essentially responded correctly to some criticism from, from Pauli.
