QM has many different interpretations but Heisenberg is not responsible for one.
Science is based on evidence, QM has made some impressive predictions like anti particles and without it stuff like ultraviolet catastrophe would happen. You can't just dismiss something because it seems strange too you.
On another point QM has been Mathematically formalised. Look up matrix mechanics.

I'm pretty sure Hawking has a better understanding of the universe then you. On another thing, here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr-Einstein_debates
Einstein lost the debate. Ironically, his great critism became the famous EPR experiment. You should look up EPR.
