ruzuzu commented on the word pilot wave
"While this experiment isn’t on the quantum scale, it does help to demonstrate the way quantum-scale particles may operate according to the pilot wave theory. And for any lay people who’ve struggled with grasping why things are so strange on the quantum scale according to the standard interpretation, this pilot wave theory—proposed by Louis de Broglie in 1927—provides a far more palatable framework for understanding quantum mechanics."

I really do think it's a good idea for pilots to be less stuffy.

And do they need those caps? Not as if they're out in the sun a lot unless they've managed to lose the top half of the plane, in which case sunburn is the least of their problems.
