Epilogue

What is a Bohmian quantum theory? A quantum theory that spells out what it is about. In other words a theory with a clear (primitive) ontology. A theory which has no place for mysticism, paradoxes, and superstition, and in which observation does not play an irreducible fundamental role. This does not mean that observation has no effect, or only a slight effect on an observed system. It does not mean that at all, as Bohmian mechanics proves. This chapter only draws one moral and its role is to encourage young scientists not to give up reason and rationality in their quest to understand how the physical world functions.
