New Developments in Bohmian Mechanics

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the latest developments in Bohmian mechanics, a theory in quantum mechanics that introduces hidden variables. Participants are seeking insights into recent contributions and theoretical advancements in this field.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests an overview of the newest developments in Bohmian mechanics.
  • Another participant notes that an exhaustive review of the newest developments does not exist but provides a link to their own contributions.
  • A participant proposes a quantum hypothesis for a theory of everything based on Bohmian hidden variables, referencing an external blog.
  • One participant expresses support for the idea that string theory can be derived from Bohmian mechanics, sharing a link to relevant research.
  • Another participant challenges the reconciliation of their own theory of everything with string theory, suggesting it involves large scale extra spatial dimensions and nonlocal causes, which they relate to quantum wave and entanglement behavior.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants present multiple competing views regarding the implications of Bohmian mechanics for other theories, particularly string theory, and the existence of a comprehensive overview of developments in the field remains unresolved.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations regarding the availability of comprehensive reviews and the assumptions underlying the proposed theories, particularly concerning the nature of extra dimensions and their implications.

Unfortunately, an exhaustive review of the newest developments does not exist. For a brief overview of my own new contributions see

Hello, Demystifier, I don't suppose you'd take seriously a quantum hypothesis for a theory of everything that starts by assuming a Bohmian hidden variables theory?

Actually, I do. Especially when I recently found out that string theory can be derived from the assumption of Bohmian mechanics:

Actually I find my own theory of everything hypothesis at least difficult to reconcile with string theory because mine postulates large scale - rather that small scale - extra spatial dimensions where a cause acts nonlocally in addition to the forces, and which are deduced initially from quantum wave and entanglement behaviour.
