This has a few interesting corollaries, ISTM.
1. It hints that there might be a way to distinguish the pilot wave
interpretation of QM from the rest, which could be handy
I doubt that since Bohmian QM is just another way of writing
Schrodinger's equation. Bohm gave it a certain interpretation
different from Bohr's, but mathematically they must be the same.
?
Bohm added a potential obeying a quite special equation, in addition
to the SWE.
Bohm gave a non collapse "QM", but a quite different theory than QM.
That potential has to act non locally and physically. Also. (of course
by Bell theorem).
In fact that move mirrors the adding of primitive matter and primitive
physical laws to arithmetic.
In this "everything-list" we are supposed to dislike adding equation,
or axioms, to make things judged "ugly" disappear.

2. It hints at eternal inflation (the second bit of support for
this in the last few months, assuming the BICEP results stand up).
EI gives rise to a "Level 1" multiverse which makes the MWI's
multiverse redundant, in a sense.
3. It DOESN'T explain how the universe formed spontaneously from
nothing, however! It explains how a patch of false vacuum or
whatever which obeys the Wheeler-deWitt equation could have
generated an expanding space-time, and given 2. there is no need
for anything to appear from nothing - we have a steady state
cosmos, on the largest scale.
