Does this make the Law of Attraction valid, then? That what we focus on determines the reality that we traverse.

- Vecr 2y agoNo. Or, maybe, but go demonstrate a merely gas-based Laplace demon first.
- hcarnot 2y agoNo, reality is not related to what we "focus" on. I don't subscribe to quantum observer anthropocentrism (which is also something that Wheeler fell prey to): an "observer" doesn't have to be conscious and doesn't have to be human. An observer is simply something in the universe whose state causally depends on some quantum phenomenon. For that thing to resolve its state, it needs to "measure" the outcome of the quantum phenomenon. That is all.
- Mattasher 2y agoIn this definition an "observer" is anything whose path depends on some perceived outcome (as in state of the universe), correct? So that could be human or a rock tumbling down a hill.
