The problem with pretending quantum mechanics makes sense

 

Sean Carroll, as leading modern physicist and philosopher, today 100 years after Quantum Mechanics QM was born, offers the general public the following information to digest:

• QM is weird,
• because despite the fact that we are celebrating its 100th Anniversary right now,
• we still don't understand it.
• We need guidance from experiments, and so the only way to do that is to build bigger and better experiments. 
• What if I think about this particular system in a completely new way?
• So in my lifetime anyway, I don't think my job is in danger and being put out of work by the computer revolution.

We hear Carroll say that QM is not understood by modern physicists, who anyway pretend that QM makes sense,  which poses a credibility problem. The only way out of is to come to a better understanding by trying some new way of thinking.

After having declared that he does not understand QM, and nobody else, Carroll tell us during a lengthy presentation that QM makes a whole lot of sense as the basis of modern physics and technology. 

RealQM offers a new way of thinking as a form of QM which can be understood, because it has the form of classical continuum mechanics without conceptual mysteries.

This adds perspective to the review process of a first article on RealQM submitted to Foundations of Chemistry reported in recent posts.
