The Center for Frontier Science and its director, Nancy Kolenda, deserve kudos for organizing the 2002 conference on the future of Quantum Mechanics and publishing (2005) the book, "Quo vadis Quantum Mechanics?," through Springer, as one of the important Frontier collections.
The seminar's notion could be found in A. J. Leggett's paper (Chapter 6), where he cites the "reasons for speculating that the linear formalism of standard quantum mechanics may break down at some stage between the level of the atom and human consciousness." The contributors have responded differently to this stated notion and the issue revolves around whether nature is deterministic or ...
