    When we moved to Xenfora some of the signature options didn't come over. In the old software signatures were limited by a character limit, on Xenfora there are more options and there is a character number and number of lines limit. I've set maximum number of lines to 4 and unlimited characters.

  • s. i. :
    I apologize in advance if you do not wish to participate in a one on one conversation of this sort. I have what is (hopefully) a simple question that is probably not worth starting a new thread.
    It concerns the use of the word "observer" when referring to a particle in quantum theory. I have taken this word to mean any interaction with any part of the universe by the particle. Because we do experiments and are observing the particle, the convention seems to be to refer to these interactions as being "observed." Is it not true that a particle that exists in a state of superposition, does so until it interacts with some part of the rest of the universe and observation by a sentient being is irrelevant, in spite of its common usage in experiments?
    Hi Sol,

    just wanted to thank you for your exceptional posts in this forum. I'm looking forward to learning more and more through your contributions here. Much appreciated.

    All the best,

    Kuko
