From our experiments we can conclude or at least we can strongly believe:
• There is no well defined natural limit between quantum and classical world.
• Non-locality (in ordinary space) and contextuality are fundamental properties of nature.
• Quantum mechanics gives a correct description of all results but boundary conditions are as important as the basic equation itself.
• Quantum losses are unavoidable and occure in any kind of interaction.

RésuméRésumé
• For the interpretation one should keep in mind that the initial or boundary conditions are also based on statistical measurements of an equally prepared ensemble and, therefore, it does not seem so surprising that only statistical predictions about the outcome of an experiment can be made.
• Thus, we do not know everything at the beginning so we also do not know everything at the end (e.g. every event).
(S. Stenholm 2009).

• Entanglement, quantum contextuality and Kochen- Specker phenomena tell us that quantum physics involves stronger correlations than classical physics does. The quantum world seems not to be chaotic but provides the basis for the stability of atoms, molecules and – last but not least- for the existence of conscious beings.
