“Observation” in a QM sense has nothing to do with sapience of anything like that. It literally just means that something needed the information and it collapses the waveform. It’s any time it influences another particle. It doesn’t matter what that particle is. If it needs to know the state or the particle we care about then it “observed” it. Humans or animals need not be involved.

systemglitch@lemmy.world 1 week agoThere is a magic to perception nothing else can replicate. I’m pretty sure awareness is existence, so it’s attention has to change reality.

Perception and observation are different things. Air molecules can be “observers” when looking at electrons etc.

I think we need to build a time machine to go back to Atlantis, to kill Ramtha and make sure that What the Bleep? never gets made.
