RE: Does quantum theory really require so much weirdness? No! There is an unpopular real model that explains the quantum.

Thank you for your well informed reply.

Although all theories will probably get to a place where reality is almost impossible to rationalize and require another breakthrough, I find that the pilot waves explain a lot where other models just go weird. Both the Copenhagen Interpretation and Pilot Wave models require infinite distances for entanglement.

Yes maybe one day someone, maybe Lemouth, will figure out a clever experiment that can distinguish between the 2 models. I'm just a believer that reality is real, but I could be wrong. Many times there are simple explanations for very complex concepts.

To me, the main intriguing issue in QM is non-locality. The latter is still there with the pilot wave model.

Probably not me, as I am currently not working on the foundation of QM but more within its practical applications in particle physics ;)

Yes, non-locality is very strange and perplexing.
It's truly amazing that our math predicts experimental results with such accuracy even with so many unresolved questions.
