Some, but not all. Some want to know what it is that makes it so we can calculate the probability of a measurement, or whether a black hole loses information. Some are/were quite philosophical, including Feynman, despite his protestations.
- credit_guy 5y agoNot some, all. Physicists earn their right to talk about deep foundational things after they first shut up and calculate. Those who are not able to calculate, don't get tenure.
