    Looking Glass Universe explains de Broglie-Bohm pilot wave theory (Bohmian mechanics) as an alternative to the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics. The video lays out the pros and cons of the theory and links to related videos on contextuality and entanglement.

    HN commenters recommend the channel as a clear, well-made source on quantum mechanics and common misconceptions about Bohmian mechanics.

      I'm not super knowledgeable but I love this series, Looking Glass Universe, on the subject [0,1]. Specifically, she goes into some common but wrong beliefs about Bohemian Mechanics including that there is NO quantum weirdness. There is - it's called contextually. I don't know more than that. [0]: this video [1]: [LINK]

    2. @erikpukinskisAug 2017· in “Rumours swell over new kind of gravitational-wave sighting”

      I really wanted to like PBS SpaceTime. So many interesting subjects and I love physics videos on YouTube. But there's something about Matt O'Dowd that makes them unwatchable for me. Something about the pacing, I just can't stay focused. Another great channel is looking Glass Universe - this video And Udiprod doesn't have a habit of making physics vids, but this is my all time favorite physics videos on YouTube which explains quantum waves better than anything else I've seen - [LINK]

      Another good source for quantum and linear algebra in particular is "Looking glass universe" this video
