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.

#Who or #What is a #Quantum #Observer? [1st in a #series]
The #KrononautMoon Project promotes #experimentations, #observations & #celebrations of #TimeTravel. #Observing one's #world or #cosmos is just part of #CommonSense — right? Maybe not at the #QuantumLevel. 3-min. #video

❛❛ 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"…

#Consciousness & #WaveFunction
#SabineHossenfelder: "The reason that [Sir Roger] #Penrose thinks that the collapse of the wave function creates consciousness is that he believes consciousness can't be computed. And since we know everything besides the collapse of the wave function is computable in #physics, the collapse must be it."

In the #quantum realm an #atom does not behave as point particle, instead it behaves more as a wave. Its properties (e.g., its position and velocity) are described in terms of what is referred to as the #wavefunction of the atom.
