Description
In the given controversy, Einstein was right; the Copenhagen quantum mechanics has been based on physically unacceptable assumptions. And also later, Bell's inequalities have been mistakenly interpreted: holding true only in the classically deterministic model and not for the Schrödinger solutions when the initial state of the evolving system is represented by a (not fully known) set of different classical states; and the measured results in individual events are statistically distributed. The structure of Hilbert space formed by the solutions of the corresponding Schrödinger equation cannot be arbitrarily defined; it must be adapted to the corresponding physical system. Any Schrödinger state is then equivalent to a superposition of the solutions of the corresponding Hamilton equations, while all solutions of these equations form a greater set. However, the usual energy quantization approach represents phenomenological characteristics only, and the proper cause should be interpreted on other physical grounds. The actual source of quantum phenomena may hardly be explained without the participation of all interactions between the corresponding physical objects; their not yet fully known properties surely play an important role. The results obtained in experiments when the mutual (mainly elastic) collisions of the corresponding particles are studied might surely be very helpful.
