![]() ![]() 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). This critique is based on the oldest approach to thinking about nature for over 2500 years, known as Natural Philosophy. 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 paper re-opens the debate on the failure of quantum mechanics to provide an understandable view of micro-reality.
