The Main Interpretations

I have grouped the main problems in interpreting QM in the previous chapter. In the present chapter, we shall deal again with these four groups of problems (formalism, measurement, non-locality and causality) but by introducing the reader to the main solutions that have given to them and critically evaluating them. In fact, only a careful examination of what has been said on the subject could help us to find an original way to see the problems. It helps us to restrict the range of the viable pieces of interpretation by excluding those hypotheses that, for one reason or the other, cannot work and thus to attribute the right values to those hypotheses that resist critical analysis. I stress that no interpretation or hypothesis can be dismissed in few words for at least two good reasons: (i) QM looks like a complex array of puzzles, what requires extreme care in making any assertion, and (ii) all of these interpretations have been provided by excellent scholars who have tried to deeply penetrate that riddle.
