There's no particular reason to think that an overarching interpretation of quantum mechanics will provide a deeper understanding of it compared to the strict formalism. People can come up with metaphors to assist in teaching it and there can be numerous such metaphors that are useful depending on what specific aspect is being understood.
Furthermore I don't agree that people are limiting themselves because of a lack of an interpretation, on the contrary my personal observation is that people are limited precisely because they either seek an interpretation or are clinging to one.
- the__alchemist 6y agoWhy do you draw the line here, at QM, as a boundary of knowledge? This may be the case, and is a common opinion, but why is this special, compared to various other theories we have in physics and other sciences? Historically, this line of thinking is common in science. You might be right here; science has advanced far in the last century, but I urge you to exercise skepticism that we've really hit the bottom. Nearly all claims of this type historically have been wrong!
