Sorry, I can't resist. :oldbiggrin:

Yes, but I would just not call such a measurement "direct". Even though the spot has the same position as the assumed particle (which is...

The answer is simple: "branching" is just unitary evolution, and unitary evolution can't create or destroy anything.

Even so, it did work out everything that humans have ever worked out about chess and more. To say that exhibits no intelligence...

I agree. But don't miss the context in which I said what I said. My claim was that the Bohmian position of a microscopic particle is a...

You are missing the point. When you observe a very small object, say by an electron microscope, what you see directly is always...

Of course, I meant "microscopic particle such as electron". Thanks for noting the typo! The trace we see in the bubble chamber is an...

But you see the pixel, not the particle. The pixel is not the particle.

What Tumulka implicitly claims by writing "any time" is that you can have a system evolving normally, and you can decide a specific time...

No. Its meaning becomes very clear in specific quantum interpretations such as Bohmian mechanics and many worlds.

That's subjective.

Yes, but that is exactly the point. Some of the most important scientific insights were inspired by questions that brought confusion.

Is the Moon itself the same thing as its wave function? If not, then what exactly the Moon is? Can the Moon itself be described by a...

Bohmian mechanics (BM) is a hidden variable theory in the following senses: (1) It claims that something observable (the particle...

Except that it isn't. Of course, with a field picture in mind, it is natural and intuitive that it travels through both slits at once...
