Stop fucking memeing me.
An "observer" is just the measurement taken between probabilities
Cooper Morgan
Jonathan Fisher
an observer is anything in the environment that interacts with a quantum state
David Hall
It's poorly introduced but a simple concept. Any measurement involves photons or some other particle impacting the system and its destination being measured. The impact disturbs the system.
Chase Sullivan
an observer is a conscious human bean
Camden Baker
Why is it presenting in such a "we da real human bean" way in nearly every popular outlet it's introduced. It doesn't even seem to be a case of pop scie, it's just plain misleading.
Parker Watson
Some dude on quora said that that may seem to be the intuitive answer but it's actually more mysterious than that. The expected discrepancy is controlled for in the calculations yet there still remains a deviation from the anticipated result. A conscious observer really does affect the result in a way that goes beyond the interaction of their measurement tools.
Angel James
As soon as an observer has observed the action has already concluded, rendering any observation pointless :^)
Tyler Powell
Some dude on quora? Great source Bruh.

No fucking clue. A lot of decent lectures try to get past that quickly. It's been a long time so I'm not 100% on this, but I believe MIT 8.04 w/ Allan Adams made a good effort to avoid this. Although he does choose to avoid words like "spin" and make up new terms for the introduction.

What do you expect from quora? It's quantum decoherence and has absolutely jack-shit to do with human beans and consciousness. We know how this shit works, that's how we can make quantum annealing processors.

The fuck is up with this quora hate? Quora is excellent.
