The video covers Pilot Wave Theory, also known as the de Broglie-Bohm Theory, which suggests a deterministic view of quantum mechanics. Using easy-to-understand analogies like a boat guided by ripples, it explains how particles follow specific paths influenced by pilot waves instead of random probabilities. This theory offers a clearer understanding of quantum phenomena, such as the interference pattern seen in the double-slit experiment, and has potential applications in fields like quantum computing and nanotechnology. The video also talks about the history, technological implications, and ongoing debates about Pilot Wave Theory.
