The discussion centers on the de Broglie-Bohm (dBB) interpretation of quantum mechanics, addressing key questions about its concepts. Participants express skepticism about the nature of the pilot wave, questioning how a non-material wave can influence matter and the implications of nonlocality. The role of detectors in the double-slit experiment is debated, particularly how they disrupt interference patterns, with references to decoherence as a crucial factor. The deterministic nature of dBB is highlighted, asserting that while the universe is fundamentally deterministic, the apparent randomness arises from our limited knowledge. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for clarity and understanding of dBB's principles in contrast to other interpretations of quantum mechanics.

Hm.. yes, but not in this thread. I did not remember any definite outcome :) of these discussions, they were quite fuzzy. That is why I was asking for some kind of a Summary.

OK!

For the Unruh effect, it is decoherence (i.e. interaction with the environment made up of objective Minkowski particles) that explains why the basis of Rindler "particles" becomes a preferred basis when the environment (measuring apparatus) is accelerated. Thus, there is some objective creation of Minkowski particles, but it is due to acceleration of objective particles existing before the acceleration. More details can be found in
