Description

David Bohm's realist, causal version of quantum mechanics (QM) offers both
a precise physical picture of the micro-world, and a rigorous
mathematical foundation for explaining the origin and magnitudes of measurement
probabilities. Probabilities emerge in Bohm's QM just as in statistical
mechanics.

Bohm's greatest champion has been John Bell, whose inequalities were
motivated by Bohm's work, to demonstrate the unavoidability of
faster-than-light influences in any fundamental theory. Despite Bell's
efforts, his results are commonly misunderstood, usually with the idea that
they rule out all "hidden variable" theories.

Professionals and amateurs are welcome to discuss these and related issues
in this unmoderated forum.

I don't believe there ever was a difficulty - I was just having a hard time digesting some of the incorrect or misleading explanations from the assorted

Re: [Physics_Frontier] Questions About "Three Slit Experiment"
I'm not seeing what the difficulty is. In the dBB interpretation, the wave function takes all three slits into account and defines the usual probability

From the 1st comment at the bottom of the link:   "The conclusion should be: yes all radiation is able to split and travel along all different routes
