Something must be behind all that strangeness and whatever it is it must be odd, very very odd. Yes, many world's idea is ridiculous, but is it ridiculous enough to be true? If it's not then something even more ridiculous is. As for the Copenhagen interpretation, I don't think it's ridiculous, I think it's incoherent, and if you ask 10 adherents what it's saying you'll get 12 completely different answers, but they all boil down to "*just give up, don't even try to figure out what's going on*". But I think one must try.
