- Interesting... I have had the same thought of this possibility too. Does
- anyone know if any work on how chaos and fundamental QM might relate has
- been done? If so, can anyone give any helpful references or names?
-
-
- this is called the hidden variable interpretation of quantum
- mechanics.
-
- it has been shown to be incompatible with experiments. the basic
- problem is that of correlation of wave functions and whether or not
- correlated wave functions can communicate faster than the speed of
- light.
-
- basically, you have to either give up the hidden variables or
- causality. (you pick which one you prefer).
