- I don't get it. Aren't path integral formulations essentially probabalistic
- in nature?
-
- Also, what about Ed Nelson's stochastic mechanics? I heard a long time ago
- that Stoch. Mech. made some scattering predictions at variance with QM,
- and that experiments were going to be done. Is this true? On the other
- hand, I was given to understand that one had to go quite a long way to
- get at these deviations from QM.
