| The most practical attitude toward the quantum world, Lindley writes, was Niels Bohr's so-called Copenhagen interpretation, which stated that you could know only what you measured and that to speculate about any reality beyond that measurement was useless. Now, after a series of precise experiments, the issue has been decided: the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics has been convincingly confirmed, while the most important class of hidden variables has been ruled out. The Copenhagen Interpretation ofquantum mechanics has become the standard way of explaining the physical and philosophical meaning of the mathematics of microscopic behavior. |
