Famous Experiment Dooms Alternative to Quantum Weirdness

[Tom Johnson]

Oil droplets guided by “pilot waves” have failed to reproduce the results of the quantum double-slit experiment, crushing a century-old dream that there exists a single, concrete reality.

Bush’s makes several caveats in his paper about possible improved experiments.  It hardly seems to me like the case is closed.   Gosh, all that is at stake is the possibility of superluminal interactions and a-causality!   I’ve can’t help but wonder about people that can swallow those pills on `good authority’.
