For myself, and for any other 'scientific realist', the whole so-called interpretation problem in connection with quantum mechanics is just this: whether If I am to explain why there is a problem with understanding quantum mechanics in a way that is compatible with scientific realism, I first have to say what been interpretations of quantum mechanics in which collapse has nothing to For many years after that, I tried to come up with an interpretation of quantum mechanics that would solve the problems I have described. quantum mechanics says that there is a 'collapse of the state function' or it ./cache/work_utpfbabu4na35oyirkgutf3ugm.pdf ./txt/work_utpfbabu4na35oyirkgutf3ugm.txt
