Quantum mechnanics is not wrong.. it is perfectly ok!!

Can we have an intense discussion? I will no take it personally :)
My salvo
Qm explain perfectly the "how" .. and that's all it needs to be in any physical theory...
So QM is neither wrong nor incomplete. there is not a single "how" that it does not explain properly, and there is no phenomena inside its scope which is not addressed.
Of course QM is incomplete in the sense that it can not describe something macroscopic.. but this is is a problem of the complexity of the system and the need for a future complexity theory (understanding how the all is more than the sum of iits parts in a more systematic way and not only with some examples)..
So Here I wait... in which instance QM is not right? :)
Dare you not speak ill of QM :)
A pleasure I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
Which means that worrying too much about QM's implications outside its realm of application is a bit silly.
So tell me if I am right.. you think that until there is no theory which links the four fundamental forces foces ..then all theories is incomplete?
then we really have a completely different vision of science :)
But Qm is not supposed to address gravity. why is it incomplete then?
Quantum field theory pressupposes the existence of Einsteinian spacetime. You can get away with quantum field theory on stationary spacetimes because there you have a proxy for "Newtonian time". String theory is not very different in the way it appears to require a highly symmetric "background".
But things like Hawking radiation are like the "old" quantum mechanics of Bohr and Sommerfeld. There needs to be a better theory. One in which somehow spacetime emerges. We have met the enemy, and he is us — Pogo
