You are confusing quantum mechanics math with reality. If you mean
that the mathematics of quantum mechanics is not concerned with
resolving apparent randomness, then you are correct. You might want to
look into the de Broglie-Bohm theory, more recently called Bohmian
Mechanics.
Quantum mechanics math vs. reality? You think reality differs?
I believe that reality does consist of probabilities, but QM math is
vague by design and accepts those probabilities as "good enough"
because in most cases they are.
If you believe that Schrodinger's Cat was really both 1/2 alive and
1/2 dead, then you are welcome to that belief. If you believe that the
cat is either dead or alive and the experiment simply illustrates a
measurement problem, then you're getting closer to what I believe.
I suggest reading what John Bell has said about some of the problems
with QM. If you want to advance further beyond the world of dead-
scientists, then read some of the work being done by people who are
still alive and with whom you can actually discuss this.
You're not too far from Rutger's, are you (or am I thinking of someone
else)? Look up Sheldon Goldstein or one of his contemporaries and
discuss it with them if you feel qualified.
You might find that Schrodinger's, Einstein's, Bell's, de Broglie's,
Bohm's (and other "non-conformist") thoughts are being taken more
seriously these days. You'll just have to look into it yourself. I'm
not going to get into a battle of dead-scientists.
