look, this is fairly simple. Imagine that you want to take a picture of a football. But the only camera that you have is one that throws football-sized rocks at things. Can you get a clear picture of the football, or does the "wave function" "collapse"?
@demystifysci Imagine the camera was a canon
@eoinjwalsh perfect, no notes
@demystifysci You barely even understand the theory yourself if this is what you trot out. Are you a mathematical physicist or some jumped up pop science aficionado Neil de grasse Tyson Rip off. The measurement problem in physics and philosophy of physics is open!
@thmaistro we have closed it, welcome to my ted talk
@demystifysci The measurement problem in quantum mechanics is an open problem. Your name isn’t on Wikipedia with a Nobel prize beside it saying you came up with the solution.
@demystifysci So you disagree with von Neumann?
