    Specifically a criticism of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. Schrödinger’s thought experiment is intended to make a person consider where/when the wave function is supposed to collapse.

    Pilot-wave theory is another interesting interpretation. I feel like it’s a much more “intuitive” interpretation.

      I’m actually very fond of elements of the pilot wave concept.

      I think there is a pilot wave, and I think it’s in an inaccessible dimension, and I also think whatever drives it also obeys quantum weirdnesses.

        Pilot wave isn’t another dimension. It exists in configuration space which is a concept of quantum mechanics in general. What pilot wave provides is a deterministic narrative for quantum mechanics.

          Well it is in another dimension. We analyze spatial dimensions in a 3D framework, but it’s very obvious there are additive forces that we don’t understand.

          We don’t live in a 3+1 dimensional universe, at minimum we live in a 4+1 universe.
