Abstract
For the last hundred years, philosophers and physicists alike have been obsessed with the quest of comprehending the mysteries of quantum mechanics. I’ll argue that those who still pursue an understanding of quantum riddles are burdened with a classical view of reality and fail to truly embrace the fundamental quantum aspects of nature.
Keywords
Quantum foundations, the measurement problem
