   ...keep in mind that QM is " the most successful
  scientific theory of the 20th century" ...100 years to date since Max
  Plank coined the term...
  Transistors....lasers...superconductors
  ....gene-splicing...nuclear weapons.......even the packet-switching of
  digital information
  transmission is a direct result of quantum mechanics.
  How long does a tree have to bear fruit before it is a tree and not a

You are absolutely correct about QM but I was not talking about QM. I was
talking about the Copenhagen Interpretation of QM. None of the inventions
you speak of require the CI.
