Would Bohr be born if Bohm were born before Born?
arXiv:physics/0702069 · doi:10.1119/1.2805241
Abstract
I discuss a hypothetical historical context in which a Bohm-like deterministic interpretation of the Schrodinger equation could have been proposed before the Born probabilistic interpretation and argue that in such a context the Copenhagen (Bohr) interpretation would probably have never achieved great popularity among physicists.
