According to quantum mechanics, observation affects the thing observed. But does the observation have to be a “conscious” observation?
That’s been a hot question since the inception of quantum mechanics. According to the quantum theory, observations of particular outcomes arise through what is called the “collapse of the wavefunction.” Collapse is mysterious. So is consciousness. And they seem connected. Experts disagree with each other. If you read the UNDISPUTED demonstrations displayed on pages 87 through 98, you can decide for yourself.
