Abstract
The unbeloved pilot wave theory of D.Bohm claims to be able to determine trajectories of quantum particles from the Schrödinger equation and the gradient - or fall-line - of an Eikonal ansatz as a solution. We try to apply this theory to the solution of a Huygens elementary wave theory we have explored previously [DGaO Proceedings] and find that it leads to the classical particle (photon) paths of a momentum conservation model and the geodesics on the surface of stationary phase of the system, but fails, if we apply it to the surface of the stationary phase after integration over „all paths“ itself.
