I enjoyed Michael Brooks’s article on superdeterminism 15 May, p 36. Sabine Hossenfelder and Tim Palmer’s idea of a determinate quantum universe warrants comparison with thinking in the 1950s.
Back then, David Bohm argued for a deterministic model of quantum theory that allows for probabilities to arise from certain “hidden” details, given a universe that began with the right quantum probabilities built in. In this respect, I can’t see how the Hossenfelder/Palmer model differs greatly from that of Bohm.
