Posted about these before, but these oil droplet experiments look very promising as an alternative way of looking at quantum correlations - at least as a possible logical alternative. In standard quantum mechanics, the effect is rationalized as the instantaneous collapse of the particles’ joint probability wave. But in the pilot-wave version of events, an interaction between two particles in a superfluid universe sets them on paths that stay correlated forever because the interaction permanently affects the contours of the superfluid. “As the particles move along, they feel the wave field generated by them in the past and all other particles in the past,” Bush explained. In other words, the ubiquity of the pilot wave “provides a mechanism for accounting for these nonlocal correlations.” simonsfoundation.org/quanta/20140624-fluid-tests-hint-at-concrete-quantum-reality/
