    Do we actually need the wavefunction?

    Possibly. Thanks for the link. I'll certainly look into that - although a cursory glance at that page revealed the words 'wavefunction collapse' which, unless I'm reading it out of context, is what I was seeking to avoid. Sorry, you're saying that Bohmian mechanics is disproven? I hope the...

    Do we actually need the wavefunction?

    Thanks Vanesch, I guess my question is why do we choose 'particle/wave duality' over the above. I'm assuming that there must be an understood reason why the probability wavefunction cannot be intrinsic to the experimental setup - If not, occams razor would make this the preferred...

    Do we actually need the wavefunction?

    I am not a scientist - I am a retired software engineer. But I find the current interpretations in quantum physics rather unsatisfying. This leads me to some questions. My main concern is over the need for a wave function. I've recently been reading the transactional interpretation but it...
