Why is the Copenhagen interpretation of QM so popular?

submitted by [deleted] from self.Physics

It basically implies that the lack of certainty implies lack of materiality. Just because I am not certain where something is, can I say that it is everywhere?

Maybe that binary (on/off) is not the right way to understand existence at quantum scales. The quantum realm seems to be a kind of sea of virtual events, which we call 'particles' but probably shouldn't. More helpful analogies may exist than billiard balls. For example, is a wave top/crest in the sea a distinct thing, fully separate from the surrounding water? Where does it begin, and where does it end?

The Copenhagen interpretations popularity lies in its ability to reconcile quantum weirdness with observable phenomena offering a framework where uncertainty does not undermine materiality but rather defines it through probabilities.
