The Philos-Sophia Vlog | The Measuring Problem

The third in a series of interview segments featuring Dr. Wolfgang Smith and Dr. Richard Smith.

A quantum-physical system is by nature probabilistic and can only be mathematically described by a wave function, which provides an ensemble of possible values. When the wave function interacts with a measuring instrument, the ensemble collapses to provide one precise empirical value.

Note well: a measuring instrument. It is not, in other words, the scientist or "observer" that causes this collapse!

Nor, for that matter, is the measuring instrument a "part" of the quantum-physical system that it measures — if it were, it could not cause a collapse in the first place, and there would be no measured value.

The Philos-Sophia Initiative Foundation's feature documentary chronicling the life and work of Wolfgang Smith is available @ http://TheEndofQuantumReality.com
