Lunatics EVERYWHERE!!!!
TBH the lunatics are already running the asylum; those lunatics are called physicists. Physicists embrace quantum mechanics even though it has lost touch with reality.
To see why quantum mechanics does not represent reality, consider what happens in the double slit diffraction experiment. Send many photons of one wavelength into the apparatus, and on the other side you will observe a nice diffraction pattern. Turn down the intensity of the light while increasing the exposure time, and you will still see a nice diffraction pattern(once the photo is developed). Keep decreasing the intensity of the light till only one photon enters the apparatus per day, and you will still see a nice diffraction pattern so long as you expose the film for an adequate amount of time. Most people that think about how the diffraction pattern comes about will initially use common sense and think the photons interfere with each other, but this experiment shows that each photon actually interferes with itself. How is it that each photon interferes with itself and somehow decides it should have a certain probability of appearing some place? Quantum mechanics doesn't try to explain how it happens, it just states particles behave like waves until you observe them. Just as odd, Quantum mechanics says how likely it is to find a particle within a certain region, but once the particle is found, it will never tell you why it decided to appear there rather than somewhere else; for any one experiment quantum mechanics is "wrong" since it can't tell you what will happen, but on average quantum mechanics has always been right.
Something happened for any one experiment, and whatever happened should be considered reality. The problem is quantum mechanics can't say what will happen for any one experiment, so it shouldn't be considered reality. However; quantum mechanics represents the only reality we know since no one can explain what will happen for any one experiment. By embracing quantum mechanics as a theory that represents reality, I am tossing out a deeper reality that I know should exist; By rejecting the "truth", I am a lunatic.
