As Einstein put it: ...nature is not independent of human thought. Measurement/observation matters. I know only one place that shares that rather odd property. The memory of a computer.

Carrock Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 4 hours ago, Vexen said: What about the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics? Please define the particular Copenhagen interpretation you're referring to. Quote According to an opponent of the Copenhagen interpretation, John G. Cramer, "Despite an extensive literature which refers to, discusses, and criticizes the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, nowhere does there seem to be any concise statement which defines the full Copenhagen interpretation."

It is one of dozens of equivalent interpretations; they all describe the same thing using different words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
