Erratum: In the mailing the value of C was wrongly stated as π/4 = (1/4)π, instead of 1/(4π). Brackets matter!

Hi Ulrich, thanks for your reply. 1) It is my understanding that Bohmian mechanics is not incompatible with (Einstein) relativity. If this is incorrect, could you, please, provide a reference? 2) Re Vedas: the reference is first few pages of "The Science of Being and the Art of Living" by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

Regarding 1) maybe the burden is on you: can you reference a demonstration that Bohmian mechanics is compatible with relativity? More later.

I am skeptical about all this. I perceive, Bohm's theory is true to reality, in particular, as described in Vedas. Would like to see your response.

Hi Mark, thanks for your comment. Bohmian mechanics is outlandishly contextual (much more so than standard quantum mechanics) and in addition it is incompatible with (Einstein) relativity — the opposite of Feynman's formulation of QM, which is relativistic from the get-go. I have no ideas what (if anything) the Vedas have to say on this matter.
