A PBS Space Time episode introducing de Broglie-Bohm pilot wave theory, an interpretation of quantum mechanics that avoids much of the strangeness of the mainstream views. It is aimed at curious lay viewers.

HN commenters regularly send people to it as an accessible, friendly introduction whenever pilot wave theory comes up.

Have you spent much time on "anything not illegal is allowed" forums? Try to talk about popular movies are TV shows and you get things like this on such sites [1]. Want to discuss an episode of PBS Space Time such as this one [2]. Don't be surprised if this is the discussion you get [3]. What almost always happens on such forums is that the people there who aren't racists, sexists, antisemites, inane conspiracy theorists etc., leave, and the forum ends up being largely just such people.

▶ this video PBS Spacetkme has a great video on pilot wave. Getting rid of all the messy probability issues is amazing.

> Hidden variable theories don't satisfy the bell equation. No, local hidden variable theories don't [1]. De Broglie–Bohm pilot wave theory [2] is a non-local hidden variable theory. [1]. link [2]. link [3]. ▶ this video

@MichaelApproved2016 · in “Why don't more physicists subscribe to pilot wave theory?”

Here's another great video from PBS Spacetime on this topic ▶ this video This channel and Sixty Symbols are awesome for insight into physics/quantum mechanics without the math.

If you're interested in this sort of thing as a lay person (as I am), I would recommend the PBS Space Time YouTube channel. Be sure to stick around for the end of each video, as he often calls out comments on earlier videos that contain corrections or clarifications (in many cases, from _very_ highly qualified physicists and other subject matter experts). Here's their recent episode on pilot wave theory: ▶ this video
