Hello everyone! The link here should allow all Patrons to view the script of the episode we posted yesterday on Pilot Wave Theory and Quantum Realism. -Rusty Ward, Producer of Space Time

Errr.. I'm not seeing the actual episode you posted yesterday - I see the notice on the 29th that you were going to be posting the episode the next day, and then today's post that made the script for yesterday's episode available, but - nothing on the 30th. No episode, that I can see. Am I missing it, somehow?

@Dave, it'sup: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlXdsyctD50" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlXdsyctD50</a> @PBS Space Time: Great video as always! However, I still have some questions about the wave itself. You explained that the theory avoids the issue of something existing as both a wave and as a particle at the same time. Where does the wave come from then? Is it created when the particle interacts with something or does the wave exist independently from any particles? Also does the wave exist only for one particle, or does all particles in the same physical space also interact with the wave? In the latter case, how is it then different from ether?

Ok, stop me if this is quackery, but your pilot wave theory video got me thinking. Is it possible that matter and energy warp spacetime in a way that affects particles, but lessens in effect on larger bodies? That is, for a given configuration of matter and a particle travelling nearby, the schrodinger equation doesn’t actually describe a pilot “wave” in some medium, but actually describes the topology of spacetime as viewed by the moving particle. I’m sure someone’s already thrown this idea out, but I’d be really interested in figuring out what’s wrong with it.

Great to see this being explored, but does beg the question "what is doing the waving?". Hope there is an episode coming on Cramer's transactional interpretation, another interpretation that basically seems to have been shouted down by the Copenhagen proponents, but which seems like a much more ontologically conservative explanation of the evidence and the maths.

Thanks for this episode. I've always visualized the universe worked this way actually. (not exactly like this, but close). I don't think it's far fetched to think that energy particles vibrating as they move through spacetime must cause ripples in spacetime. Those ripples in spacetime would then certainly affect other particles. The more energy vibrating together, the bigger the ripples are and the bigger ripples would gather up little ripples. I've always felt like the earth's gravity was really massive amounts of inwardly pointing pilot waves of spacetime. Because of the fabric of spacetime, there would be limits on the amplitude and frequency of these ripples. As far as relativity is concerned, time is just a measurement of causality, so, if these pilot waves (or causality waves?) can stack/cancel out/or otherwise interfere with the ebb and flow of spacetime. They could also change the relative speed with which particles interact with each other.

Am I missing something? That link shows a screenshot of part of the script. Can we not see the whole script?

I have a question (unrelated to the episode but related to the Q&amp;A section at the end of it), how is it posible for a neutron star to rotate up to 500 times in one second? This wasn't said in the episode, but it was something a friend of mine (physicist) told me. Perhaps a short answer can be given in the Q&amp;A section of one of the next episodes. Gracias!

I guess what I was trying to say is that it would be great if you guys can do another video on neutron stars. Perhaps you guys could delve into the quantum effect called "vaccuum birefringence."

Is it possible that Dark Energy is just a residual wave from the big bang? In this case, pilot waves are not part of the particle, but a universal constant from the creation of the universe? I am far from a physicist, so allow me to play one for a moment at the expense of making a fool of myself. If Dark Energy is a wave in this scenario, then it would control the speed of light. Photons and such having no mass or inertia at rest, travel with that wave at basically max wave speed.

Perhaps Dark Energy and Dark Matter are either the physical effects of "inconsistency" in our universe, or Where the effects of a parallel universe effect this universe. Not talking about "Ether", I am talking about inconsistency in the thickness of our universe. The "warping" of space may be proportional to the "thickness" or "density" of our universe and its effects of contact with another universe.

I overlooked the fact that expansion is presumably speeding up. Can we get a speed measure on light just for giggles? :)
