\nQuantum mechanics is, in 2023, almost 100 years old if we count from the year 1926 that Born, Heisenberg, and Jordan published their paper. Quantum phenomena have been officially recognized since 1900. Quantum mechanics has been very successful as proven by most of the technology society enjoys today. That technology was developed by correctly using quantum mechanics to explore and design. However, there is still something missing about quantum mechanics, namely a clarity and consistency in the theoretical description and the foundational concepts. This is very different from all other theories in physics. In this page we will discuss this topic and try to pin down what is missing and explore possible paths to improve the situation and bring more clarity. This will be done by short discussions about a topic. When all of these comments and explorations are put together, it is hoped, that we will come closer to understanding what is missing so that some clever people can figure out how to fix the gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
