Nonseparability and the tentative descriptions of reality

The considerable successes of present day theoretical and particle physics have greatly increased both the generality of the relativistic quantum physics formalism and our confidence in that theory. Contrary to what took place during the twenties they have produced nothing that can be called a conceptual revolution. A consequence of this is that the interpretation problems that appeared at the time of the Bohr-Einstein debate [3.1, 2] and that were solved only partly—or not at all—still remain real problems today.
