New comment by kgwgk in "The present phase of stagnation in the foundations of physics is not normal"

Or you could do with Copenhagen...

I found this quote from David Lindley in a review of Adam Becker's book referenced in this thead (http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=10147):

"The problem with Copenhagen is that it leaves measurement unexplained; how does a measurement select one outcome from many? Everett’s proposal keeps all outcomes alive, but this simply substitutes one problem for another: how does a measurement split apart parallel outcomes that were previously in intimate contact? In neither case is the physical mechanism of measurement accounted for; both employ sleight of hand at the crucial moment."
