Of course there are open roads for open minds:
Following theories based in contextual hidden variables you can go
to the quantum phenomena with nonclassical eyes. An example can
be find in: Santos E. Phys. Rev. A46, 1992, pag. 3646. It is false that
these kind of approaches does not have new information. It is enough to
read it. One can consider contextual variables in the theories.
The inexistence of noncontextual hidden variables was proved by
Gleason(5) in 1957 and by Kochen and Specker(6) in 1967. But that
contextual hidden variables are always possible was shown by
Gudder(7) in 1970.
A contextual theory is formulated with variables of the next form:
A(lambda,mu) where lambda represents the properties of the particle
and mu the properties of the context. In this way several approaches are
possible if someone wants to maintain his open mind. But if someone
does not want to do it, then he can take quantum mechanics at the present
form, but this does not mean that any new approach must be considered
unnecessary or a methaphysical point.
