Quantum as classical (booklet)
v. 4 n. 41
"... Despite nearly a century of debate and experiment, no consensus has been reached among physicists and philosophers of physics concerning which interpretation best “represents” reality 1."-- BingAI, in response to the question: What are the interpretations of quantum mechanics?
The interpretation of quantum physics in the following articles is that it is a rather conservative smooth extension of classical physics, in an attempt to avoid the present conventional ambiguity.
That quantum mechanics might not be radical is indeed radical.
The most discrete part might be illustrated as the Planck length being the smallest amount space can be "bent." Take a thin rubber (effectively two-dimensional) sheet and pinch it into the third dimension to form the smallest possible bend. This a rough way to indicate the stiffness of the material. The stiffer the medium, the larger the bend. The "material" being considered here is spacetime itself, which is said to have a certain "stiffness." Space isn't very stiff, and it must have a low "stiffness coefficient" or "spring constant," but some finite value because of the detection of gravitational waves, an alternate terminology for waves in space(time) itself. Planck's constant is seen to relate to the stiffness of space, and is small because space is not very stiff. In such a way quantum and relativity physics, which is classical, can be associated. The discussion for this begins in (3) What is behind light and matter and the small value of Planck's constant? | LinkedIn

The following article list is by no means exhaustive. The author's intention was to pick some articles that relate to the title, beginning for the most part with the recent, then pairing down so that the whole is manageable. Instead, why not glance through them at random and pick those that seem interesting.
