Natural Philosophy Critique of Quantum Mechanics

Herb Spencer formulates a harsh critique of modern physics as Natural Philosophy Critique of Quantum Mechanics with opening:

• This paper re-opens the debate on the failure of quantum mechanics to provide an understandable view of micro-reality. A critique is offered of the commonly accepted ‘Copenhagen Interpretation’ of a theory that is only a mathematical approach to the level of reality characterized by atoms and electrons. This critique is based on the oldest approach to thinking about nature for over 2500 years, known as Natural Philosophy. 
• Quantum mechanics (QM) was developed over the first quarter of the 20th Century, when scientists were enthralled by a new philosophy known as Positivism, whose foundations were based on the assumption that material objects exist only when measured by humans – this central assumption conflates epistemology (knowledge) with ontology (existence). The present critique rejects this human-centered view of reality by assuming material reality has existed long before (and will persist long after) human beings (“Realism”). 
• The defensive view that the micro-world is too different to understand using regular thinking (and only a mathematical approach is possible) is rejected totally. At least 12 earlier QM interpretations are critically analyzed, indicating the broad interest in “what does QM mean?”

I share view with Spencer which has led me to search for realism also in the atomic world in the form of Real Quantum Mechanics RealQM with extensions to Real Quantum Chemistry presented in recent posts. 

RealQM is mathematical model of atomic physics in terms of classical continuum mechanics in 3 space dimensions plus time. RealQM is understandable in the same realistic sense as macroscopic elasticity/electromagnetics described by fields satisfying certain partial differential equations in 3 dimensions like Maxwell's or Navier's equations, thus meeting Spencer's requirement of ontology and not just epistemology.
