Interpretations of quantum theory: A map of madness

"We must consolidate into single school of thought"?

Scientific method, much. This is the thinking that lead to pilot wave qm being disregarded for a few generations.

If anything, pilot wave gives the easiest explanation of locality - there is none, and it's a deterministic universe.

That's not exactly the point of this paper (and the quote above is not in it?)

> these two types [of interpretations] are so radically different that there must be experiments that, when analyzed outside the framework of quantum theory, lead to different empirically testable predictions

Yeah, the whole discussion of entanglement (specifically Bell's inequality) was sidelined for decades.

But maybe the single school of thought should be this: we have none, and that's good.

Any books that teach (introductory) QM from the pilot wave perspective?
