The purpose of the tread is to provoke varied opinions and to allow those who obtain such views to offer supporting evidence. The question is this: "to what extent is QM an intrinsic physical theory?"

"Intrinsic physical theory" is not clear enough to start a productive conversation, so this thread is closed. Send me a PM proposing more clear wording and the thread can be reopened.

There's nothing inherently wrong with the question, but it is not one that can be productively discussed or moderated within the bounds of this forum.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
