About Some Problems Raised by the Relativistic Form of De-Broglie--Bohm Theory of Pilot Wave [PDF]
, 2001 The standard relativistic de-Broglie--Bohm theory has the problems of tacyonic solutions and the incorrect non-relativistic limit. In this paper we obtain a relativistic theory, not decomposing the relativistic wave equations but looking for a ...
