I read about this phenomenon where the two slit experiment could be replicated with drops bouncing on an oil bath (here's an article on it: http://resonance.is/news/quantum-weirdness-replaced-by-class... ). And one about how a higher-dimensional mathematical object could dramatically simplify certain quantum mechanical calculation ( http://www.wired.com/2013/12/amplituhedron-jewel-quantum-phy... ). I realize this proves nothing, but I'm still holding out hope that the randomness we observe is just a result of the interaction that higher dimensional "matter/energy" does when it intersects with our 3/4 dimensions. Maybe god doesn't play dice after all, maybe there's just a whole lot going on before we get to make our measurements.


This experiment is pushing towards Bohemian Mechanics, we all like PWT but I'm not sure what does this has to do with the comment above :)
