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.
Kluwer Academic Publishers quotes
View All Authors View Sources[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.
— Detlef Dürr (1995)
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….

[W]hile space measurements and time measurements when taken separately are relative, space-time measurements are absolute. The space-time position of events and the space-time interval between them are the same for all observers and never change.
