| Dec 6, 2019 at 3:22 | comment | added | user21820 | Besides what @R.. says, there is also pilot-wave theory that is not excluded by QM and could be argued to be a kind of (non-local) hidden variable theory. | |
| Dec 4, 2019 at 4:37 | comment | added | R.. GitHub STOP HELPING ICE | @Michael: Any local hidden variable theory. Nonlocal hidden variable models are trivially compatible with QM. | |
| Dec 4, 2019 at 4:03 | comment | added | Daniel R. Collins | The linked article (under "Metaphysical aspects") includes a reference that non-local hidden variables are still considered viable in the form of De Broglie–Bohm theory. | |
| Dec 3, 2019 at 22:54 | comment | added | Michael | @CarloBeenakker, Bell's inequality establishes that any hidden variable theory is necessarily incompatible with QM, and therefore eliminates the possibility that such theory would complete/supplement QM as QM stands. This killed the efforts to explain QM via hidden variables. The experiment, performed much later, only determines which of the now incompatible theories models the nature better. | |
| Dec 3, 2019 at 22:34 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | isn't it the experiment that measured the violation of Bell's inequality the thing that eliminated hidden variable theory? Bell's inequality by itself does not rule out that theory. | |
