Re:Quantum Mechanics: Science or Pseudo-Science?

Matter cares if it is observed...and recognizes the observation?

Is this a "cosmic wink"?


Please check out my latest tune "How Can I Know?"

You could say that, although "care" and "recognizes" are probably not the best words to describe the situation. The basic idea is fundamental to quantum mechanics. It's quite a huge topic and bumps up against the interpretations of the mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics. Physics meets philosophy out there at the cutting edge. A good starting place, if yer interested, would be to read up on the Copenhagen Interpretation, the work of Bohr and Heisenberg.

What does that mean? I'm at least 25% caffeine.

There's nothing to say that hasn't already been said...

It's better to regret something you have done, than something you haven't done.
