Philosophical conclusions from Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics including the rejection of realism, negation of causality and Lack of determination on nuclear or atomic events and etc, lead to a gap or twofoldness between classical and Quantum physics. In this article, we will show this gap and there is an attempt to offer responses to major claims of Copenhagen school based on Popper’s falsificationism, its tools and attributes. We also contend that the mentioned gap can be restored with an appropriate philosophical interpretation and Once again, we can return unity to the philosophy of physics.

The aim of the present paper is to sbo» that anti-realism in science, 1vhich has a1;guab/y become more fashionable in recentyears, contrary to tuha: its proponents assert, cannot make use of quantum mechanics and its impressiue achievements as a frump card in justifying its claims. I will argue that scientific anti-realism far from providing scientific communiry with a progressive methodologicalframeuorle is a restrictive approach wbicb would hamper scientific progress. Focusing on the historical evidence of the 1vqys in subicb quantum mechanics was deueloped, I 1vill further argue that the orthodox interpretation of quantum mechanics due to Bohr and Heisenberg, among others, iuith its in-built anti-realistic elements provides a damning verdict against the claims of anti-realists. Following a critical assessment of a number of alternative interpretations or the calculus of quantum mechanics, I shall present realistic approaches which provide more effective and frudful conceptualframeu;orks for the advancement of research in the quantum
