An Experiment That Changed How We Think About Reality

How does this relate to Wired&#x27;s other article on the pilot wave explanation of quantum mechanics?[1]<p>&quot;To some researchers, the experiments suggest that quantum objects are as definite as droplets, and that they too are guided by pilot waves — in this case, fluid-like undulations in space and time. These arguments have injected new life into a deterministic (as opposed to probabilistic) theory of the microscopic world first proposed, and rejected, at the birth of quantum mechanics.&quot;<p>[1] <a href="http://www.wired.com/2014/06/the-new-quantum-reality/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;06&#x2F;the-new-quantum-reality&#x2F;</a>

This is very confusing. &quot;But according to quantum mechanics, the answer is 50%&quot;. How is this so? The article doesn&#x27;t mention how quantum mechanics explains what is going on, just that &quot;classical physics&quot; doesn&#x27;t.

In Brian Greene&#x27;s book &quot;Fabrics of the Universe&quot; he also mentioned some other experiments that completely shattered our understanding of reality. One such was the quantum eraser and especially delayed choice quantum eraser, which COULD mean causality can be violated.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_eraser_experiment" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Quantum_eraser_experiment</a><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_choice_quantum_eraser" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Delayed_choice_quantum_eraser</a>

Why do the 3-color passport stamps have to be distributed normally? If some patterns were more common than others, than couldn&#x27;t it explain the 55.55%?

There is a gem of a book recommended at the bottom of the article - &quot;boojums all the way through&quot;.

Is it possible that the 3-door box is not doing the same thing as the 1-door box? By this I mean that the 1-door box is measuring some hidden variable that the 3-door box is not measuring?
