Abstract
The argument about interpretation of quantum mechanics is questioned from two aspects of history and logic. Four noticeable clues are found as follows: wave nature and particle nature, reductionism and analogy, hidden variable and quantum potential, continuity and discontinuity. From different aspects, they outline the complex relation in the interpretation of quantum mechanics, disclosing the historical relationship among the arguments over interpretation of quantum mechanics, physics and the development of human knowledge.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
