Seth Lloyd describes to Robert Lawrence Huhn some of the puzzling aspects of a #Quantum #Observer. [4th in a #series]

❛❛ Does the #concept of #observation have deep relevance in fundamental physics? What about in #QuantumPhysics where some kind of observation seems to be needed to transform #WaveFunction probabilities into actual events? ❜❜ 12-min.

If You Don't Understand #QuantumPhysics, Try This!

❛❛ There's like this hidden #Quantum realm where the #waves exist, and then the world that we can see which is where all the waves are turned into #particles, and the barrier between these is a #measurement. [It -- the measurement] collapses the #WaveFunction. ❜❜

…"#Einstein famously asked whether a #mouse could bring about drastic changes in the #universe just by looking at it. Einstein's point was that some formulations of #quantum #theory seek to associate a particular sudden change in the physical state of the universe ("collapse of the #wavefunction") with acts of #observation. If this is to count as a precise physical theory, then one needs a precise physical characterization of an observation"…
