The Measurement Problem

Arguably the most onerous philosophical question attached to Quantum Mechanics is that of Measurement. The accepted (a.k.a. Copenhagen) Interpretation of QM says that our very act of conscious, intelligent, observable measurement – determines the outcome of the measurement in the quantum (microcosmic) realm.

It seems that just by knowing the results of a measurement – we determine its outcome, determine the state of the system and, by implication, the state of the Universe as a whole.

This notion is so counter-intuitive that it fostered a raging debate which has been on going for more than 7 decades now.

The conclusions are obviously subjective, as is, as it seems is reality.
