The wavefunction in Bohmian mechanics is just as interesting and unreal as the Hamiltonian in classical statistical mechanics. Which is to say that, sure, you still need something like it to calculate outcomes and what you observe will conform to it, but that doesn&#x27;t make it real. The particles are real here, and they just follow a law of motion described by the wave function. &gt; given that elementary particles are not…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1103.1589/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
