Classical physics has always distinguished particles from waves.

However, at the beginning of the 20th century, the newly discovered phenomena of atomic and subatomic particles as well as the interaction of radiation with matter seemed to challenge these classical conceptions. In the years 1925-1926, E. Schrödinger (student and collaborator of A. Einstein) invented and published his quantum mechanical equation QM Schrödinger SE as a mathematical formalism that accurately describes the experimental results of quantum particles.

The Copenhagen interpretation itself was a group work of the greatest scientists of the time led by N. Bohr and W. Heisenberg and not a one man show as many people would think!

QM seems to reject these classic designs. Instead, it posits quantum probability and discontinuity in addition to the concept of wave-particle duality. Moreover, SE is an eigenvalue equation involving allowed and forbidden energy levels and bands.

However, when the SE and Copenhagen interpretation of psi and QM as a whole went wild, Einstein and Schrödinger himself opposed it.

How does an event occur and not occur at the same time (Schrödinger's dead or alive cat paradox)? and how can information be transmitted instantaneously between quantum states at a speed greater than c (Einstein's objection - frightening action at a distance)?

Moreover SE is reversible in time and does not respect the arrow of time,

At that time, the pragmatic philosophy of the 1950s and the old iron guards "Shut up and calculate We have an equation of precise calculations up to 10 digits!", dominated and the objections of Einstein and Schrödinger disappeared or left in the wind.

The question arises, how can this be fixed?
