I don't pretend to have an informed opinion on quantum mechanics or pilot wave theory, but "I wouldn't be interested in science if that were all there was" is not much of an argument.
Your feelings don't enter into it. Einstein didn't like it, either, but he didn't manage to replace it.
- sb1752 3y agoIt goes beyond "feeling". Without adequate understanding, you can't penetrate further and move the science forward. Calculations alone are simply not enough.
