Subquantum physics: nonlocality, pilot-waves & breaking the Born rule with Prof Antony Valentini
A
5:53Antony ValentiniGUEST
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...
A
6:06Antony ValentiniGUEST
I mean, of course, according to relativity, you're not allowed to have signals going faster than light.
A
6:11Antony ValentiniGUEST
So, you know, if, if you have things communicating faster than light, that's a b- supposed to be a big problem.
A
6:16Antony ValentiniGUEST
But in practice, relativity is all right because there's no actual signal.

Um, so it feels like there-
A
28:34Antony ValentiniGUEST
So th- so this theory, you know, there have been repeated attempts to shut down this theory.
A
28:47Antony ValentiniGUEST
But the first, you know, um, episode one, as it were, uh, was de Broglie in the '20s.
A
28:55Antony ValentiniGUEST
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.
A
29:06Antony ValentiniGUEST
Um, and you know, he showed how it could explain interference and diffraction.

So th- so this theory, you know, there have been repeated attempts to shut down this theory, um, and quite why, I'm, I'm not sure I fully understand why.

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