I'm not knowledgable of QM. But I don't think that's necessarily true, because photons/electrons are interacting with the system at all times, but the wave function doesn't collapse until we actually observe the result of one of those photons/scatters/whatever, right?
- systemvoltage 6y agoSame, not too knowledgeable but I thought this was no longer a mystery.
- gotostatement 6y agomy point is that, a photon bouncing off the system doesn't suffice as a measurement, because photons and electrons are always interacting with the system, but the measurement/wave function collapse doesn't occur until there's some other type of observation that occurs, e.g. a photon that's specifically sent and read by the experimenter
