Another Jonah Goldberg moment– can anybody recommend a reasonably neutral discussion of Bohm’s non-local hidden variable version of quantum theory? A little Googling turns up this encyclopedia article and a tutorial dialogue on the arxiv, but I’d like to see a fairly complete treatment of it that doesn’t go to great lengths to make proponents of other interpretations sound like clueless goobers who are just too dim to perceive the obvious correctness of the Bohmian approach.
This isn’t critical by any means– the hour and a half I’ve just spent reading these pieces is really more cat-vacuuming than anything else, as I got the information I needed for the passing mention of Bohmian mechanics in Chapter 7 from the first few pages of the first reference I looked at. It’s just that everything I can find easily reeks of True Believer, and that always irritates me.
