My fascination with quantum mechanics and relativity began in high school, and over the years, I’ve often felt dissatisfied with the reality described by the standard model. In particular, the Copenhagen interpretation - summed up by Neils Bohr’s famous quote:
"There is no quantum world. There is only an abstract quantum physical description. It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how nature is. Physics concerns what we can say about nature."
Until 2022, I followed developments in this area sporadically. After experiencing a challenging period in my personal and professional life, and suffering from Dunning-Kruger effect, I began to engage with these topics more seriously in my free time.
Driven by the goal of providing a classical explanation for the reality described by quantum mechanics, I began researching the nature of dark energy. Although dark energy was confirmed in the early 2000s, I wondered whether it might act as a pilot wave influencing particles. This led me to explore the de Broglie-Bohm pilot wave theory. After catching up on previous work related to this theory, I started considering how a physical explanation for dark energy could also account for the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. Through this process, the Aakasha theory was born.
