wave function collapse

The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics and the many worlds interpretation both lack an adequate explanation of the collapse (or reduction) of the wave function. The transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics and Feynman wheeler absorber theory that it is based on has always...

From an article by Ingrid Hansen Smythe criticising the movie "The Secret" This doesn't seem to gel with my lay man's understanding of Quantum Physics. My understanding is that an interaction of any kind causes the wave function to collapse, but it is neither the observer, nor "photons" or...

It is said that observation collapses wave functions for atomic particles. Is consciousness necessary for observation to take place? Can a camera without film "observe you" Theory That activity at the subatomic level can be symbolically represented at the macroscopic level. For example a...
