The essential physical significance of the law of motion is therefore simply that all ‘interactions’ are manifestations of EPR-entanglement and nothing but EPR-entanglement. What might seem a mere change of terminology here is actually a radical shift of physical viewpoint, comparable to the abandonment of gravitational ‘force’ in general relativity.

[There] seems to be a ‘conspiracy’ between relativity and quantum theory, whereby uncertainty noise prevents one from using subquantum nonlocality for practical signalling. Why should the nonlocality be hidden in this way? A physics whose coherence rests on such a peculiar conspiracy can hardly be regarded as fundamental.

[W]e are simply using the wrong variables ….

It seems premature to embark on a study of the Universe conceived as a single quantum-mechanical entity when, even in the restricted realm of mechanical phenomena, quantum mechanics does not provide a universal description.

Standardly, we are cautioned not to inquire further. Physics stops here.

[W]e do think it very likely that if the ultimate theory is a quantum theory it will in fact be a Bohmian theory.

Perhaps the most venerable of all the philosophical definitions holds that the world is deterministic just in case every event has a cause.

We are often told … that no physical theory describing well-defined objects … can account for [quantum] phenomena. The great majority of physicists continue to subscribe to this view, despite the fact that just such a deterministic theory, accounting for all of the phenomena of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, was proposed by David Bohm more than four decades ago….

Lorentz’s conception of the aether was virtually equivalent to space itself.
