Quantum mechanics seems weird to everyone.
Some people look to that weirdness for supporting
weird hypotheses that don't much fit with day-to-day observations.
Most physicists reject those weird
hypotheses and seek to reconcile quantum mechanics with the entire body
of human observations.
The abstract of the first article in the Aug
1999 issue of Physics Today reads:
"The traditional Copenhagen orthodoxy saddles
quantum theory with embarrassments like Schrödinger’s cat and the
claim that properties don't exist until you measure them. The consistent-histories
approach seeks a sensible remedy."
The following is extracted from our
Misconceptions Workshop:
...simple, but subtle...
...obvious, yet unobserved...
...the edges of (easy)
human comprehension..

We
should like to know:
What are the clues?
What was missed?
and...
How might it affect important
decisions?
