Abstract
The question of whether it is possible to supplement the wave-function of a system with extra parameters, known as hidden variables, has been discussed at several points earlier in this book. In Chapters 3 and 4, we saw that, though hidden variables might seem to have the potential to solve many of the apparent problems of quantum theory, orthodox approaches made a major point of excluding them from consideration. In Chapter 5 we discussed why, fairly soon after discovery of (modern) quantum theory, Einstein rejected the idea of producing a simple hidden variable theory. Nevertheless, his project of producing a (itcomplete) quantum theory was likely to lead others in the direction of adding hidden variables, even though his own ideas were considerably more grandiose.
