Copenhagen Interpretation

The Copenhagen Interpretation is a way of understanding quantum mechanics, suggesting that particles like electrons exist in a state of probabilities until they are observed or measured. When measurement occurs, these probabilities "collapse" into a definite state. In essence, it emphasizes the role of observation in determining the outcome, indicating that until measured, particles don’t have specific positions or speeds. This interpretation highlights the fundamental role of measurement in quantum physics and suggests that reality at the microscopic level is inherently probabilistic, unlike the clear-cut physics we experience at everyday scales.
