What a dope!There is no physics experiment that you
can design and run, which has a different
outcome depending on whether consciousness is present in the
experiment or not.
How could YOU ever be sure of this?
Brian Greene gets yanked into this same trap every time he gives a
lecture in front of philosophers.
You figure he would have learned by now.
um, I hate to be rude or anything, but... how do you know?Eventually you get into this cartesian spiral where the
knob on the instruments themselves are in a
"superposition" until a human being looks at them.
Then eventually the stars in the sky are all in a
superposition until some human on
planet earth looks up, and suddenly they all snap
into place. This is wholly ludicrous.
But they all have to contend with the same facts,There are numerous (all equally valid) interpretations of
quantum mechanics. The "Magical Consciousness
collapses the wave function" nonsense is only 1 possible
interpretation out of at least 6 other ones that you can
subscribe to.
the same randomness, the same wave-particle duality
and non-locality.
