    El carácter fundamentalmente probabilista de la teoría cuántica cuestionó el realismo como filosofía básica de la ciencia, si bien ciertas interpretaciones instrumentalistas podrían no amenazar por sí solas la existencia de un mundo exterior e independiente de nuestra conciencia. La falta de un valor definido para tales magnitudes antes de la medición alentó la suposición de que tales valores “no existen” antes de la medida. Una reinterpretación de nuestras ideas sobre las magnitudes físicas, considerándolas formalmente representadas por conjuntos de valores en lugar de valores numéricos concretos, ayudaría a disipar toda sombra de irrealidad física.

    The probabilistic character of quantum measures put in question the proper role of the realism as basic philosophy for science, even though certain instrumentalist interpretations might not threaten by itself the existence of an external world independent of the observer conscience. The lack of a defined value for such magnitudes previously to the measure encouraged the supposition that such values “did not exist” before there being measured. A reformulation of our ideas about physical magnitudes, regarding them as formally represented by sets of values instead of sharp numeric values would help to dissipate any unreality shade in physical sciences.
