“...but Bohr’s personal charisma and the desire on the part of scientists to get on with the fun of understanding atoms and particles quickly established Copenhagen as the only way for right-thinking physicists to understand quantum theory.”
I know nothing about quantum mechanics but I do know once scientist all agree on one thing being right and any other opinion is wrong...they stopped being scientist and have become priest.
True!
However Quantum Mechanics has worked remarkably well in its predictions, has been verified experimentally up to 12 - 14 decimal places. I am sure there is a brick wall coming, there always is. Then a new theory will be worked out and QM will subsumed into it.
