Lets say that someone (I see it happens quite often) is asking "How photon can go thru 2 slits at the same time?" or "How electron can be a particle and wave at the same time?"

PRO: may the the simplest? (this is controversual)
PRO: It is so complicated that after an information about multiple interpreations people can get absolutely lost.

CON: due to non-local nature of WF collapse people tend to ask more and more questions about ETL etc - so may be Copenhagen is the simplest one but not the best one? (this is controversual)
CON: Do we have a right to hide a truth, a right of not giving a choice to chose 'their' interpretation?

What do you think?

Dmitry, if you visit my blog, you will see one possible way how such questions can be answered.
 
I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
