I*ve been a fan of Pilot Waves for many years. We*ve made great progress in the Copenhagen and other popular interpretations of Quantum Mechanics, such as many worlds, but a lot of these are based on a perceived need to distance ourselves from Maxwell * a perceived *break* with the past, as all old formulas get their new (but not necessarily improved) Quantum Mechanical equivalent. As we get closer to making practical devices using quantum level technologies, having a proper understanding of quantum mechanics is crucial for us to continue. The analoges of electricity, pressure, behavior of fluids, etc * all lining up nicely with each other in practical engineering fields (a water computer is no more difficult than an computer of electrons; space is the main issue) * all are primarily expressed in waves, and rightly so. Excess emphasis on the perceived *spookiness* of quantum level interactions does help fund the almost religious mystique of all things *quantum*; it has become a magic word in many circles*. but it simply means *counting how much/how many*. The idea of separate little things we can count is *very* useful and helpful * and indeed, for many things, we can *count* and act *as if* things are isolated from other things. but they*re not. The complex interaction of all things is obvious from the very nature of the beginnings of the Universe; we were once all one and there is no *nothing* inbetween things, even though we are often taught that in school. There is a *something* in the *middle* of things * there always is. This doesn*t mean the path will be easy; we may still depend on a particle zoo view of things simply because so much wonderful work and research has been done in that area * and there is no reason to abandon it all. But an understanding of the *context* within which this *apparent* particles are living in * * as expressions of waves * not *clouds* of statistics* raising math to a level that Pythagoras*s followers would fully recognize as their religion * will most definitely benefit future research and technologies, in my opinion.
