Max Born on Statistical Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

Max Born received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1954 (twenty years after his collaborators Schrödinger, Heisenberg and Dirac) for his statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics. In his Nobel Lecture Born expressed misgivings: 

• The work, for which I have had the honour to be awarded the Nobel Prize for 1954, contains no discovery of a fresh natural phenomenon, but rather the basis for a new mode of thought in regard to natural phenomena. (statistics)
• The work at the Göttingen school, which I directed at that time (1926-1927), contributed to the solution of an intellectual crisis into which our science had fallen...Today, physics finds itself in a similar crisis... - 
• There are some very noteworthy exceptions (to the statistical interpretation), particularly among the very workers who have contributed most to building up the quantum theory. Planck, himself, belonged to the sceptics until he died. Einstein, De Broglie, and Schrödinger have unceasingly stressed the unsatisfactory features of quantum mechanics and called for a return to the concepts of classical, Newtonian physics while proposing ways in which this could be done without contradicting experimental facts.  Such weighty views cannot be ignored.
• How does it come about then, that great scientists such as Einstein, Schrödinger, and De Broglie are nevertheless dissatisfied with the situation? Of course, all these objections are levelled not against the correctness of the formulae, but against their interpretation.
• ....somewhere in our doctrine is hidden a concept, unjustified by experience, which we must eliminate to open up the road.

Today 70 years later the situation is the same: 

• Physics is in a state of (intellectual) crisis.
• Interpretation of quantum mechanics is still without answer.
• There is a hidden doctrine which has to be eliminated. 

If you are dissatisfied with this state of affairs, take a look at RealQM offering an opening to a road forward.
