Influence as in a causal influence, as in there is a preferred frame of reference in Bohmian mechanics, where there is a privileged time...

...? Bohmian mechanics already exists. Realistic theories with superluminal, contiguous influences also exist...

Then you simply misunderstood, since the proposed influences obviously do not respect relativistic causality. The purpose of talking...

I agree that the measurement operators commute, which means quantum theory doesn't assign a preferred time-ordering to them. But that’s...

Let's look at a particular frame of reference. In a particular frame, measurement A occurs before measurement B. But before either...

The events being space like separated is exactly what is creating the confusion for me though. As you say, in one frame, measurement...

syed replied to the thread I Is there any interpretation of QM that doesn't clash with intuition?.

After thinking about this a little further, I wonder if the time order of relativity is what is making "normal QM" paradoxical (i.e. the...

but that is according to the earth's frame, no? Why would that be the privileged frame in this hypothetical? I was reading the...

Well that would suppose that no non local theories such as Bohmian mechanics can be true which do violate relativity, which as far as I...

fair enough, is there a reason why bohmians do not perhaps prefer a finite but faster speed causal model propagating through space time...

I'm having trouble making sense of any of the interpretations of QM (I'm still new to this) and wanted clarity as to whether or not the...

Let us suppose that there is no influence travelling between measurement outcomes, or that there is no spooky action at a distance...

Interesting, so it would have to basically violate relativity if true, which I understand, but so does Bohmian Mechanics as far as I'm...

Got it, what does speed mean here though in a relativity context? I'm just curious as to how these measurements were calculated
