Talks given by Dr. Mike Towler

Obviously this only lists talks that are listed through talks.cam. Furthermore, this facility only works if the speaker's e-mail was specified in a talk. Most talks have not done this.

• Not even wrong. Why does nobody like pilot-wave theory?
• Calculating things with quantum trajectories.
• Nonlocality, relativistic spacetime and quantum equilibrium
• The theory of measurement and the origin of randomness.
• Elementary wave mechanics and pilot waves, with nice examples.

Talks organised by Dr. Mike Towler

This list is based on what was entered into the 'organiser' field in a talk. It may not mean that Dr. Mike Towler actually organised the talk, they may have been responsible only for entering the talk into the talks.cam system.
