Another Failed Anti-Bohmian Critique

This is my response to Inspiring Philosophy’s video against Bohmian Quantum Mechanics: https://youtu.be/pn2hoU4jaQQ IP is a Christian Idealist who argues from a specific interpretation of quantum mechanics called The Copenhagen Interpretation. Unfortunately I argue he makes many missteps. Here I address his claims on Special Relativity, Absolute Time, Quantum Field Theory and more: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bccdeb6ordyrapd/Critique.pdf?dl=0
