Wonderful, I thank You Damien!
Prof. Bruno Touschek (extremely talented,
he worked with W.Heisenberg) told me that, sometimes,
he too (and Heisenberg too!) was in trouble
with the interpretation of quantum mechanics.
He used to look at things (problems) from all possible
points of view: wave-like, particle-like, entropy, fields, etc.
He wrote a sort of counter-history of quantum mechanics,
based on the never done experiments.
But now he is dead and his very interesting book
is still unpublished.
