What is Real?

This book gets its justification from the negative review it got from the journals. The self-inflicted blindness quantum physics community nurture every day, cannot be dispelled by one such tiny effort.

Even if these journals are right in some of their criticism, the central argument stands. Much of the defence for Copenhagen Interpretation is, in a nutshell, unscientific.

The book is not what I expected. I was expecting the book will cover a detailed explanation of quantum interpretation. I mean, it did, but only 20% of the book, the rest is about politics, more specifically, politics which shaped the understanding of the quantum phenomenon.

Don't get me wrong. It is very interesting to learn about scientist's view and their background, which ultimately shaped their formalisation on quantum theory. But, the portion of this particular part is too much compared to the quantum physics interpretation explanation.

Maybe this arrangement of the book will be interesting for some people, but it is not working for me.

This book is repetitive, repetitive, repetitive. The author does a good job describing the history of the ideas and giving snapshots of the most important physicists, but he repeats the ideas of quantum foundations over and over, much more than is necessary. The ending is also poor, where he tries and fails to draw a grand synthesis, especially including a nanny scolding regarding why aren't more physicists studying philosophy, rather than asking what value philosophy has at all.
