There Should Not Be Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics  @RahulSam

The two pillars on which modern physics rests are the General Theory of Relativity and quantum theory, but the status of these two theoretical systems is completely different. There are no great debates among General Relativists about how to understand it. The more one works with it, the clearer it becomes. In contrast, no consensus at all exists among physicists about how to understand quantum theory. There just is no precise, exact physical theory called "quantum theory," Prof Tim Maudlin writes in his book Philosophy of Physics: Quantum Theory. Therefore, he claims there should not be interpretations of quantum mechanics, as we don't even have a physical ontology to interpret in the first place.
