I didn't read the paper yet and it really might contain some valuable insights into the nature of quantum mechanics (I'll take a look at it later today), but I find this debate about whether the wave-function is a real object or not hilarious: It completely fails to take into account that the wave function is not defined on space-time, but rather on an abstract configuration space - it confuses the mathematical model with physical reality. The general problem with QM is that it's an algebraic and not a geometric theory, ie you know the rules, but have no real concept about what they mean.…
