Where Quantum Mechanics Stops Explaining

Key Points

• Definite, irreversible physical events remain unresolved within quantum mechanics, presenting a notable gap.
• Decoherence provides insight into how quantum processes transition to observable physical events, impacting our understanding.
• Conceptual analysis revisits a distinction between continuous quantum processes and discrete physical events.
• Implications for quantum theory suggest a need for deeper exploration of event definiteness and irreversibility.
