Pilot-Wave Theory Gains Experimental Support
The title is misleading.<p>Here is what the experiments actually showed.  Quantum mechanics continues to predict things correctly in an experiment that has a fun interpretation within pilot-wave theory.<p>We also received the standard lecture on why pilot-wave theory makes more sense than the standard Copenhagen interpretation.  And a passing acknowledgement of the many-worlds interpretation.<p>There is no explanation of the fact that many-worlds also explains the result, also is mathematically simple, and lacks the explicit non-locality that is troubling in pilot-wave theory.  There is also no note of the fact that all interpretations of quantum mechanics can explain all possible experiments that fit the predictions of quantum mechanics.  Therefore no experiment can support one interpretation over another UNLESS the result is in contradiction to quantum mechanics.  (In this case the result was emphatically not in contradiction to prediction.)
