I would argue that “shut up and calculate” is correct specifically because QM is a model. What hubris it would take to believe that we’ve discovered how the universe actually works (and there’s the issue of inconsistency with GR).
And since it’s just a model, it doesn’t matter what “interpretation” you pick, since all models are wrong anyway.
- loup-vaillant 2y ago> What hubris it would take to believe that we’ve discovered how the universe actually works Isn't that what happened with the interpretations that came before many worlds? Weren't most people believing in an actual wave function collapse back then, with basically no one telling them of their hubris? Genuine question: how soon did the "shut up and calculate" approach, as a refusal to interpret the maths, started getting traction?
