" Quantum physics dilemma "


Through the development of quantum physics, there was deep 
contradiction in the concepts of understanding the quantum outcome 
data.  Bohr-Heisenberg interpretation depends on nonlocality and 
indeterminism and the effect of measuring instrument, 
Einstein-Schrödinger and others refused these interpretations and 
concentrated on reality and locality.  Who are right and who are wrong? 
Up to nowadays no clear decision/ideas in spite of the very expensive 
sophisticated apparatus used to solve this dilemma and to find the 
basis of Quantum Physics.  The evidences of polarization, entanglement 
and teleportation all gave scattered results, especially when repeated. 
  What is the role of consciousness in measurement?
As Aspect put it:" our conclusion is more a question of taste then 
logic", while Aspelmeyer says, nonlocality is not enough to save 
realism from quantum theory.
So do we go to a compromise and accept both ideas or concepts?! That 
both are right? each in his field of experience.
