Does this thought experiment proves that Standard Quantum Mechanics and Pilot Wave Theory make different predictions?
Here is a thought experiment that is supposed to show that standard quantum mechanics and pilot wave theory do not make the same prediction :
Take the double slit experiment, and add a detector in ...
