Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal · Tim Maudlin: Quantum Nonlocality Explained FROM SCRATCH · 31 Aug 2026 podcast

It evolves by Schrdinger evolution.

Іт plays a role in guiding

The configuration by something called the guidance equation, which does not appear in Copenhagen or in standard quantum mechanics.

Standard quantum mechanics doesn't have a guidance equation because it doesn't have anything to guide.

It doesn't accept that there are particles that always have positions.

And what it does by this equation, which is a deterministic equation, is it is the it determines how the configuration of the particle.

circles evolves in time.

Uh, there I I I don't know if they're defined that way.

Of course, th th this is now a a bit of a semantic question.

If if you you had a particle and you said it could, as it were, be moving along over here, then suddenly disappear and then appear, reappear way over here without moving continuously from one to the other.

Um of course that would raise a certain number of questions like well how do you know it's the same one?

I mean you usually the idea is that because a particle follows a continuous trajectory.

You can tell which particle at time one is which particle at time two by just seeing how it got from, you know, how it got from here to there.

Now, one could say, no, no, no, I think there are particles, they always have positions, but I think they can jump around.

Um, nonetheless, remain the same particle.

You could do that.

Uh uh it it would involve, you know, some adjustments.

It's obviously simpler.

It's not that when I

When I say a classical particle, of course classical physics had this idea going back to Democritus and Democratian atoms, and they didn't pop out of existence and pop back into existence somewhere else, right?
