A problem with Bohmian Mechanics Contextuality

The video explores Bohmian Mechanics as an alternative to Quantum Mechanics, focusing on the concept of contextuality. It explains how Bohmian Mechanics allows for deterministic predictions but faces challenges with contextuality, particularly in measuring spin. The video uses the example of electron spin to illustrate these issues and discusses the philosophical implications of contextuality. It concludes by questioning whether Bohmian Mechanics can be a viable alternative to Quantum Mechanics, given these challenges.
