If all physicists were to think about interpretations all the time, physics as we know it would come to a hold. But fortunately this side of it all isn't being ignored anymore. Recent books like Quantum Enigma shows that some physicists dare speak about the unspeakable. That consciousness seems to be involved somehow.
Interesting looking book. Is it readable to non-physicists?
