support, even if theories are empirically equivalent. Examples are usually constructed cases within classical physics that have not played an important role in actual history. In this article we draw attention to the present-day situation in quantum mechanics, which we think is very relevant to the issue. There exist several realist interpretations of quantum mechanics, each of which depicts a quite distinctive physical world, and each of which has its own circle of devotees in the scientific community. Most of these interpretations are empirically equivalent in a quite strong sense: they predict the same results for all experiments that can be expected to be feasible. The usual arguments against the significance of theoretical underdetermination seem to lose a great deal of their effectiveness here. One may wonder whether non-uniqueness of theories is not part and parcel of the practice of modern science after all, and much less threatening than often thought." /> Underdetermination, realism and objectivity in quantum mechanics - Dieks Dennis | sdvig press
