  1. PBS Spacetime is always the best place to get an understanding of our faulty understanding of quantum mechanics. Watch this. the mystery is far from over and like Dirac indicated, new ideas are here needed. Lets hope the next generation will solve this for us as its been annoying some very clever people for well over a century now.

  2. There is a good explanation of the idea here. Worth a read for those still perplexed by God playing dice. “To de Broglie, the double-slit experiment didn’t require an abstract, mysteriously collapsing wave function. Instead, he conceived of a real particle riding on a real pilot wave. The particle passes like driftwood through one slit or the other in the double-slit screen, even as the pilot wave passes through both. On the other side, the particle goes where the two wavefronts of the pilot wave constructively interfere and doesn’t go where they cancel out. “

  3. Hmm, I like this idea but I wonder what it means inside a black hole, if time becomes space. I mean. if time really does become space then there is no “when” right? and therefor this is a region where the Universe doesn’t have events, interactions and possibly any meaning. Confused.com doesn’t help here 🙂

  4. More from Rovelli in his lecture. Very hard to disagree with and nice to see someone pushing the boundaries in a way that makes people look at things in a slightly different way. It’s still physics, but not as we know it Jim.

  5. Rovelli really is your guy for this – I highly recommend his book where he convinced me that yep, events and not objects are the fundamental reality. Objects are so one dimensional after you have read this, I will never go back to my old way of thinking – he is a great explainer. Buy it and say goodbye to the silly old world of objects.

  6. Ahh, first to have this idea would have been from the east

  7. Think Sagan said this first, not sure.
