Question: What is the correct interpretation (model) of quantum physics, in-deterministic (random) as currently adopted by the standard model of physics, or deterministic (non-random) as championed by Albert Einstein and a minority of physicists today? [1]
Discussion:
The standard in-deterministic (random) model teaches that attributes of quantum objects such as spin direction (direction of rotation) are complex and do not have a value or have all possible values simultaneously before being measured, then random chance determines the value that is actually measured.
The competing deterministic (non-random) model teaches that attributes of quantum objects such as spin direction (direction of rotation) are simple and non-complicated, the measured value is the value that existed before measurement.
The standard model of physics adopted the "Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics", or indeterministic (random) model of quantum physics. Unfortunately, the standard in-deterministic (random) model leads to bizarre conclusions (such as the many worlds theory, requiring an infinite number of universes to exist simultaneously) and unexplained paradoxes (such as the requirement that entangled particles communicate instantly at infinite distances).
The standard model interpretation of quantum physics was rejected by Albert Einstein in favor of a model he called "Hidden Variables" or deterministic (non-random) quantum physics. The deterministic (non-random) model of quantum physics allows quantum objects to have intrinsic attributes (hidden variables), such as spin direction (direction of rotation) regardless of whether they have been measured or observed.
A minority of physics today believe that science will eventually prove that Albert Einstein's deterministic (non-random) model of quantum physics is the correct model. [1] If this minority of physics is correct, then quantum physics may be understood using Albert Einstein simple and elegant deterministic (non-random) model, free of bizarre paradoxes associated with the current standard in-deterministic (random) interpretation of quantum physics. For example, entangled particles would be understood simply as identical copies of particles that do not communicate instantly over infinite distances.
Conclusion: A deterministic (non-random) model should be adopted as the standard interpretation of quantum physics because it makes the same empirical predictions as the in-deterministic (random) model [1], without leading to bizarre conclusions and unexplained paradoxes. [1]
