I'm surprised he didn't mention pilot wave theory. Cranks love it because it doesn't violate the notion of local realism and it has infected respected popular-science publications. But any "interpretation" of quantum mechanics that leads to violations of causality should be treated as illegitimate until proven otherwise.
- effie 10y agoAlso respected scientists like it because it dissolves many pseudoproblems of the orthodox quantum theory like the measurement problem and because it doesn't require rethinking basic scientific philosophy like Copenhagen did. I do not think it is perfect replacement for the orthodox quantum theory, but what do you mean 'it leads to violations of causality'?
