Curie, 75231 Paris Cedex 0.5, France Received 2 May 1985; accepted for publication 3 January 1986 We answer the objections raised recently by Tipler to the trajectory interpretation of quantum mechanics by analyzing in detail the scattering of a particle from a semi-transparent surface. We conclude that the notion of the wavefunction of the universe poses no particular problems for this interpretation. Recently, in attempting to give a meaning to the talking of the quantum world as if it actually exists notion of the wavefunction of the universe, Tipler [ 1] in the usual sense and make no attempt to go beyond has raised some objections to the de Broglie-Bohm the given level of macroscopic observation. Quantum causal interpretation of quantum mechanics. As fol- phenomena are then hermetically sealed, each one lows from a proper reading of the literature, and as forming an unanalyzable whole. Physics no longer con- we shall show here, his assumptions (for example that cerns how nature is. Physics concerns what we can the causal interpretation aims at a purely local, classi- say about nature. Quantum mechanics is then com- cal theory) and his conclusions (for example that plete provided we adopt and adhere rigorously to this either w
