Note that Bohmian mechanics (the actual mathematical formalism) is not consistent with Special Relativity, unlike regular Quantum Mechanics. It's not proven that it can't be made consistent, and some are still working on that, but so far it has remained elusive. This means that it's not really "an interpretation" of QM, it's a slightly different theory, one that is worse at predicting observed reality...



Fair point. Well it proves that non-relativistic QM (which is not supported by the experiments, and is inconsistent with our best and most useful theories) is not proven to be "truly random", at least the math does not imply it, so disproves parent's statement.


Indeed. Wake me up when Bohmian mechanics can predict the anomalous magnetic dipole moment.
