The more things change the more they stay the same. This remains one of the great mysteries of the universe.
As philosophers, mathematicians, and scientists failed to resolve this mystery, the hidden-variables (HV) theory of quantum mechanics (QM) remains unsolved to this day.
Bohm’s HV theory for QM describes its incompleteness. Although Neumann thought these variables could never exist, his ideas were refuted by Hermann in 1933. This was mostly ignored until 1960s when Bell proposed a precise experiment to distinguish local variability and the probabilistic expectations of QM. The latest ideas are based on a chaos theory hoping to resolve local as well as nonlocal variability.
