Abstract

Before discussing the problems of coupled dynamics of the classical and quantum objects, it is worth to make several remarks about compatibility of quantum mechanics and ME. Surprisingly, they are not compatible. Reminding, ME have been elaborated in the frame of the classical dynamics for the charges interacting with the fields.
