On the other hand, there can be another explanation for the interference pattern that appears in the double slit experiment.
One such explanation might be the wavy nature of spacetime itself: any excitation of the medium called 'spacetime' maybe introduces ripples in that medium, causing the behavior of particles to seem as probabilistic, whereas in reality it is not, it is simply chaotic in nature.
This makes much more sense than the concept of a particle being a wave until the wave collapses.
And this theory ties in perfectly with relativity and gravity: particles create spacetime ripples just like any other body does. With this explanation, there is no need for multiple universes and other strange things. The hidden variables might be the universe itself after all.

- axilmar 12y agoNo, what I am saying is different than the Aether theory. The expansion of space time proves there is a medium. Gravity proves there is a medium. Frame dragging proves there is a medium. So, this medium may be the one that causes the ripples and the waves; the particles themselves are not waves in any case.
