Is the Standard Model of physics more aligned with Bohm's or Bohr's interpretations? And if more aligned with Bohm, then why is the Copenhagen model so highly regarded and not Bohm's?
ExactlySolved said:There is no Bohmian account of most of the standard model, since there is no generally accepted relativistic Bohmian theory, and there is no generally accepted Bohmian field theory, there is only a Bohmian theory of non-relativistic QM particles.
Therefore aligning the standard model, along with the notion of particle/anti-particle creation, non-abelian gauge fields, and the Higgs mechanism, is not a foreseeable option using the Bohmian approach.
Personally I think it is wrong to encourage students of physics to study fringe theories like Bohmian mechanics, students who don't know any better, since it takes away time that they could use to learn mainstream physics.
Really there is no Bohmian theory, just a single Bohmian spiel, and ideas like this or LQG get 10,000% more attention on PF than in any major research university. Sorry for the rant, I just find fringe science and the corresponding delusions of grandeur to be a truly sad phenomenon that young people get sucked into, in some cases worse than, and in fact highly correlated with, drugs.
The Standard Model is a theory in physics that describes the fundamental particles and their interactions. It explains three out of the four known forces in nature: electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force.
The Standard Model describes twelve fundamental particles: six quarks (up, down, charm, strange, top, bottom), six leptons (electron, electron neutrino, muon, muon neutrino, tau, tau neutrino), and four force carrier particles (photon, gluon, W and Z bosons).
The Standard Model explains the behavior of particles through the interactions between them. These interactions are governed by four fundamental forces: electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, and gravity (not fully incorporated in the model).
The Standard Model has been extensively tested and has accurately predicted the results of many experiments, including the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. Additionally, it has successfully explained and unified many previously separate theories in physics.
While the Standard Model has been successful in explaining many phenomena, it is not a complete theory of everything. It does not incorporate gravity, and it cannot explain certain observations such as dark matter and dark energy. Additionally, it is not compatible with some theories, such as string theory, which attempt to unify all forces in nature.
