There's a lot of misunderstandings being spread about the Copenhagen interpretation - and I would say that some of them should better be classified as deliberately propagated lies and propaganda. In this text, I would like to clarify some of them. ...Motl has some strange views, but he is mostly correctly on this. The Copenhagen interpretation is not the best, and it has fallen out of favor but it is extremely useful and there is nothing wrong with it.

It has no internal inconsistencies and it is not in contradiction to any observation done as of today.

Before you say something is crackpot you should do an honest investigation. You have not done so. Shame on you.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are calling me dishonest because I defended the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics? I did not even mention what you promote on stardrive.org.
