Your answer is the honest answer.
We don't know.
The physical reality of wave functions is unknown.
It could be an approximation of something yet deeper.
The only thing we know is that the math works.
- criddell 5y agoIs there a leading theory as to what the physical reality is?

I'm no expert on QM. So not sure if there is an overall leading interpretation, currently.
