Consider a rewording: There is a real world out there, but QM gives a different, subjective answer. See Mermin's 'Physics Today' article(s).
QM represents a part of the real world to the best of our knowledge ;-) (At least that sounded funny in my head)
The question could be rephrased as: "It exists a deterministic physics theory that does not contains "uncertainty" or "probability" concepts internally?"
The interpretation of probabilities as 'subjective' as in the Maximum Entropy theory of E.T. Jaynes will reorient the thinking re QM, in my opinion.
Quantum mechanics is the right theory at a right length scale.
If we want to describe motions of elementary particles or
even composite particle such as protons or neutrons at a
length scale of 10^-8 cm or less, that is, in atomic and
subatomic scales then the theory of classical
mechanics (Newtonian), cannot describe trajectories.
This is because in that length scale trajectories are
probabilistic. Remember that Newtonian trajectories
are deterministic. The probabilistic nature of trajectories
on atomic and subatomic domain are demonstrated by
many experiments. Davisson Germer's experiment
(1923-1927) establishes that microscopic particles
follow the de Broglie hypothesis. Also famous double
slit experiment shows maximum and minimum, indicating
that there is wave like nature of photon.
Quantum mechanics, therefore, is based on real-world
experimental results only.
Hello, I have a mechanism where air rises due to convective flows. In this simulation, nothing is driving the air except this. I understand that the Boussinesq approximation only works for small...

I think we were all surprised at the first time we got to know quantum mechanics that the squared modulus of the wave function is the probability density of the existence of the particle? The role...
