Abstract
In British Society for the Philosophy of Science: Proceedings of London meeting 6-9 Sept, 1996, pp. 348-351. The non-classical paradigms of modern quantum physics are shown to be consequences of overextending the realm of applicability of the Schrödinger equation. Suspicions of this kind have been abound ever since Hermann Weyl decided to refer to the Schrödinger process, and its associated Hilbert spaces, as "a favor of fortune for physics". Yet, whenever fortune strikes, there is an added danger of adversely affecting, or even blinding, good judgment. It is reported that a restriction of the Schrödinger process to phase and orientation randomized ensembles obviates the need for non-classical paradigms. So the non-classical paradigms, which for decades have challenged a common sense reality in physics, were designed to help us believe in an applicability realm that was much wider than Nature's favor of fortune had intended.
