Interesting, I did not remember that. Nor about original pilot wave theory as incompatible with SR. (Unless that's just about the inherent apparent causality violation.)

@dougmerritt@mathstodon.xyz I don't know all that much about it, but see, for example, the discussion of Lorentz invariance here: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qm-bohm/ "Bohmian mechanics is not compatible with special relativity, a central principle of physics: Bohmian mechanics is not Lorentz invariant. Nor can it easily be modified to accommodate Lorentz invariance. Configurations, defined by the simultaneous positions of all particles, play too crucial a role in its formulation, with the guiding equation defining an evolution on configuration space." But, as it says there, there are modifications that purport to be Lorentz invariant. @davidsuculum@mathstodon.xyz @androcat@toot.cat
