Given that quantum mechanics on the one hand explains amazingly well various real physical phenomena, but on the other hand seems to deny reality, you'd think the world would be filled with people discussing how to reconcile quantum mechanics with the existence of the real world that exemplifies it.
Instead there seems to be a bewildering variety of proposals to make quantum theory even more unrealistic, so as to seem to bolster various claims of pseudoscience and religion. What's worse, some of these essays seem to come from the physical science community itself.
We don't know what's flawed or missing about quantum mechanics, or how to fix it, but surely by now experts in physics should have a good enough idea of what's plausible to be able to do open-minded but honest brainstorming? And surely it shouldn't even take an expert to spot the nonsense, especially when it's even advertised as such in so many words?
Is there any organization that's seriously looking for a way to make quantum theory worthy of being considered a frontier of physics, a legitimate next step in the quest started by the likes of Newton and Einstein?
If not, I think science is dead.
