I see that I misunderstood the guiding equation. It is not solely derived from the position space wave function of a system-- in which case the only way that spins involved in a system could affect the behavior of the particles would be by modifying the position space wavefunction through...
Thank you for your response. I think the analogy is useful, but I do not think it fully applies.
Bohmian mechanics involves the assumption of a guiding equation, which is derived from the position space wavefunction of a system, which, of course, is derived via the Schrodinger equation...
This is all so tiresome. I have no secret agenda. There is no conspiracy. I have looked around and not found what I am looking for. I do have graduate training in the subject. If you think that I miscategorizeed the thread, then by all means change it-- I couldn't care less. There is no...
I didn't say I found nothing on Bohmian Mechanics in general. I found nothing about the the subject with which this thread is concerned-- which is, again, precisely how Bohm's theory can be used to predict Bell and CHSH inequality violations.
As for where I have heard that Bohm's theory is...
Very good. Can you provide a reference which demonstrates how Bohm's hidden variable theory involves the same math and predictions respecting violations of the Bell and CHSH inequalities?
As you all know, one can predict violations of Bell's inequality and the CHSH inequality using standard quantum theory.
I am curious as to whether Bohm's hidden variables theory can also predict these violations. I have heard many times that Bohm's theory makes all of the same predictions as...
My idea was to write out the formulas for the orthogonal q vectors in terms of the input vectors using the basics of gram-schmidt. Then, I would rewrite those equations suhc that the a vectors were written in terms of the q vectors. And then, try to find some matrix which would capture the...

The baton could never travel faster than the runners.
But, I am having trouble seeing how the analogy applies. For, in the case of the baton, an object is transferred by carriers (runners) which do not change their speed when they are in the process of transferring the object. In the case of...
Thank you for your responses.
jedishrfu, Thank you for your response. I watched the video and still do not understand why the speed of the sound wave must be slower than the average speed of the molecules in a container. In fact, the first animation in that video illustrated exactly what I...
I am having trouble understanding the following passage in my physics textbook, particularly the bolded sentence:
"The speed of sound in a gas is closely related to the rms speed of the molecules of that gas. In a sound wave, the disturbance is passed from one molecule to another by...
This just occurred to me:
Since the solution u = Acosωt + Bsinωt is general, A and B can be any two constants. If we choose two arbitrary constants for A and B, this will determine the initial displacement and the initial velocity.
Alternatively, if we choose two arbitrary values for the...
