This review is the part of the book which is writing now. The book is
devoted to a discussion of the interpretation of quantum mechanics The
main ideas of the book are:
1) There is nothing mystical in Quantum Mechanics.
2) Classical mechanics also contains statements which contradict to
some philosophical principles and to the common sense.
3) Most of separate quantum effects exist also in Classical Mechanics.
"Wildness" of Quantum Mechanics lies in joining together of incompatible
effects.
4) Return to the Classical Mechanics by constructing of a more
profound theory is impossible.
The heuristic role and limitations of the principle of observability
and of operationalism are discussed. It is shown that the probabilistic
approach to quantum mechanics is essential as a way of reconciling the
conflicting concepts of particle and wave. The reason why the reduction
of the wave packet is not a physical process, but a logical act is
explained. The discussion of the paradoxes of quantum mechanics covers
many well known examples and also includes the Aharonov-Bohm effect and
interference between two independent laser light beams. It is suggested
that the causality principle does not reduce to determinism, but has
certain other manifestations too. The impossibility to introduce hidden
variables into quantum mechanics is shown. Mathematical manipulations are
reduced to the necessary minimum, and many examples are provided to
illustrate the discussion. Outstanding contributors to physics are
extensively quoted. The book is intended for broad sections of readers
with higher education in both the natural sciences and the humanities who
are interested in conceptual problems in modern science.
