Why did de Broglie criticize the Copenhagen interpretation?
My reservations stem from a fundamental disagreement with the probabilistic and discontinuous view espoused by the Copenhagen interpretation. While I acknowledge the predictive power of quantum mechanics, I find the notion of inherent randomness and the collapse of the wave function upon measurement deeply unsatisfactory. I believe there must be an underlying, deterministic reality governing these phenomena, a causality that is perhaps more subtle than classical physics understood. My work on causal interpretations, such as in 'Une tentative d'interprétation causale et non linéaire de la mécanique ondulatoire,' sought to restore a sense of objective reality and predictable evolution to the quantum world, rather than leaving it to mere statistical pronouncements.
