Interpretations of quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanics is a branch of science that studies the very small particles that make up the world around us. It tells us how these tiny particles behave and interact with each other. When scientists study quantum mechanics, they try to come up with different ways of understanding and interpreting the results they observe. When we say “interpretation of quantum mechanics”, it means that scientists have different ways of understanding the same things they observe.
