Why do people categorically dismiss some simple quantum models?
Deterministic models. Clarification of the question: The problem with these blogs is that people are inclined to start yelling at each other. (I admit, I got infected and it's difficult not to raise one's electronic voice.) I want to ask my question without an entourage of polemics. My recent papers were greeted with scepticism. I've no problem with that. What disturbes me is the general reaction that they are "wrong". My question is summarised as follows: Did any of these people actually read the work and can anyone tell me where a mistake was made? Now the details. I can't help being disgusted by the "many world" interpretation, or the Bohm-de Broglie "pilot waves", and even the idea that the quantum world must be non-local is difficult to buy. I want to know what is really going on, and in order to try to get some ideas, I construct some models with various degrees of sophistication. These models are of course "wrong" in the sense that they do not describe the real world, they do not generate the Standard Model, but one can imagine starting from such simple models and adding more and more complicated details to make them look more realistic, in various stages. Of course I know what the difficulties are when one tries to underpin QM with determinism. Simple probabilistic theories fail in an essential way. One or several of the usual assumptions made in such a deterministic theory will probably have to be abandoned; I am fully aware of that. On the other hand, our world seems to be extremely logical and natural. Therefore, I decided to start my investigation at the other end. Make assumptions that later surely will have to be amended; make some simple models, compare these with what we know about the real world, and then modify the assumptions any way we like. The no-go theorems tell us that a simple cellular automaton model is not likely to work. One way I tried to "amend" them, was to introduce information loss. At first sight this would carry me even further awa
