The Debates on Scientific Methodology Induced by Quantum Mechanics

This paper attempts to illustrate from the viewpoint of scientific methodology, the early development of quantum mechanics and the philosophical issues it involved. To the most cutting age scientific theory, i.e. quantum mechanics, this paper will explain how this theory, developed from "being unbelievable" to being awarded in 2022 Nobel Prize of physics. The objectives of this paper intend to illustrate the debates of this period of history and through the in-depth discussions of the scientific methodologists of quantum mechanics such as K. Popper and P. Feyerabend, we are going to, from their viewpoints, deal with quantum mechanics. With a comprehensive understanding and analysis, I intend to argue that the master of quantum mechanics N. Bohr's perspective not only prompted the development and achievement of quantum mechanics, but forged a very important method which can urge scientific progress. At last, this paper concludes that the scientific method ought not to be limited within the traditional norm and because of the unpredictably scientific practices, we should be developing a pluralistic method.
