is that you assume something totally ridiculous at the outset to justify a result you know to be true. I like it but I don't really believe it for a moment.
Unless I'm meaning something very different by the Bohmian approach but I don't think so. You arbitrarily change you potential and then recover Schroedinger's equation, right?

I remember very pretty drawings showing that instead of a probabilistic approach, you can show deterministic paths for particles diffracting through a slit.
Where basically, the path of the particle is determined by exactly which part of the slit it passes through, under the influence of some kind of 'quantum force field'.

I like it and in the unlikely event that I ever have to teach people quantum mechanics that's how I'll start it off, but personally I don't take it very seriously although there are people who do. I also don't take the many-worlds nonsense at all seriously although there are people who do.
I pity anyone I'll ever teach quantum mechanics to.

I think the best we can really do is be pragmatic, use the formulas that we know work brilliantly, and leave the interpretation to philosophers.
I can't really see us being able to distinguish between them experimentally.

my view exactly. feynam once slagged off physicists for being obsessed with a theory of everything and said "they're just algorithms" and i think there's a lot in what he said.

in fact it's quite annoying really. Too linear and structured. It is however very well made and will make you nearly piss your pants in parts. Get it on a big LCD or Plasma if you have the easier to play xbox version. Shut the curtains and turn the surround sound up.

that for the entire first 2 levels of the marine campaign, there's no actual enemies, but I still ended up using most of my ammo shooting at shadows, pipes, swinging chains etc.

Mainly because I find the actual gameplay incredibly boring. On the otherhand though, Black played almost the same except instead of running around bleeding to death and desperately looking for ammo when monsters are right 'up in your grill' it was armoured people with shotguns instead.

LaTeX - pronounced "Lay-tech"* - is a typesetting mark-up language which is a geeky alternative to using a word processor.
EDIT: @slight - of course I'm ashamed. I even wrote the LaTeX file for it so I could get it to look convincing.

well, i guess anyone writing equations *is* a bit geeky so yeah. though i've taken to using it instead of a word processor pretty much the whole time.
