The resulting confusion is fully understandable but entirely unnecessary. Quantum mechanics is founded on basically two ingredients: Kolmogorov's axioms and relativity. I do not believe that one needs anything else, but I doubt that the majority of physicists have ever seen the papers in which the derivations from first principles have been carried out explicitly. | |

How do you calculate hydrogen emission spectrum using a universe-wide quantum wave? | |
