Pilot wave theory

Imagine you have a toy boat in a bathtub. If you push the boat in one direction, it moves. But, have you ever noticed the ripples and waves it creates in the water around it?

Now imagine particles, like tiny things you can't see with your eyes, like grains of sand or small bugs, but much much smaller. These particles behave like the boat in the water. They move in a certain direction when pushed, but they also create waves around them.

In the pilot wave theory, it is suggested that these particles are guided by waves, similar to the ones created by the toy boat in the water. The theory proposes that there is a hidden force that guides these particles along a certain path, and it's these waves that determine their behavior.

In other words, just like how the water in a bathtub affects the movement and direction of the toy boat, there might be something that we can't see that guides the movement and behavior of these tiny particles.

This theory goes beyond what we currently understand about particle behavior and has been debated by scientists for many years. But the idea is that there's more to the movements of particles than just what we can observe on the surface.
