Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics

Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics explore how to understand the strange behaviors of particles at tiny scales. Some suggest particles have definite properties but are hidden until measured (Hidden Variables), while others, like the Copenhagen interpretation, say particles don’t have specific states until observed. The Many-Worlds view proposes that all possible outcomes happen in branching parallel worlds. Decoherence explains how quantum systems become classical through interactions with their environment. Despite differences, all aim to clarify how the strange quantum world gives rise to the reality we experience. The debate continues because the true nature remains deeply puzzling.
