Ahh jesus christ Cteven this is getting genuinely fcuking depressing
You’re aware of the history of physics, you have a degree in the subject, yet you claim that most physicists have a disdain for philosophy (upon which science is founded), but you argue that most physicists are of the Copenhagen ‘school of thought’. Schools of thought relate directly to philosophy, and the school of thought you refer to relates only to quantum physics -
The views of several early pioneers of quantum mechanics, such as Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg, are often grouped together as the "Copenhagen interpretation", though physicists and historians of physics have argued that this terminology obscures differences between the views so designated. Copenhagen-type ideas were never universally embraced, and challenges to a perceived Copenhagen orthodoxy gained increasing attention in the 1950s with the pilot-wave interpretation of David Bohm and the many-worlds interpretation of Hugh Everett III.
Moreover, the strictly formalist position, shunning interpretation, has been challenged by proposals for experiments that might one day distinguish among interpretations, as by measuring an AI consciousness or via quantum computing.
The physicist N. David Mermin once quipped, "New interpretations appear every year. None ever disappear." As a rough guide to development of the mainstream view during the 1990s and 2000s, a "snapshot" of opinions was collected in a poll by Schlosshauer et al. at the "Quantum Physics and the Nature of Reality" conference of July 2011. The authors reference a similarly informal poll carried out by Max Tegmark at the "Fundamental Problems in Quantum Theory" conference in August 1997. The main conclusion of the authors is that "the Copenhagen interpretation still reigns supreme", receiving the most votes in their poll (42%), besides the rise to mainstream notability of the many-worlds interpretations:
"The Copenhagen interpretation still reigns supreme here, especially if we lump it together with intellectual offsprings such as information-based interpretations and the Quantum Bayesian interpretation. In Tegmark's poll, the Everett interpretation received 17% of the vote, which is similar to the number of votes (18%) in our poll."

No need to. Your post perfectly demonstrates it

Yes it only relates to QM, I never suggested otherwise.One eyed Jack wrote: »Ahh jesus christ Cteven this is getting genuinely fcuking depressing

Interpretations of quantum mechanics
'The Copenhagen school of thought still reigns supreme'. Woops out by 9% for the majority, my apologies. The point is most physicists do not engage in Quantum interpretation debates, they 'shut up and calculate' as I said.
This is widely acknowledged within the community. Nice copy and paste job all the same.0 -
