Talk:Observer (quantum physics)

Article source
I notice that RHaworth has tagged this as a copyvio. Technically it's more like plagiarism, because the NASA site is in the public domain. (Work of the U.S. Government, see PD-NASA.)

Best practice would still be to rewrite the article independently, citing the NASA document as a source. TheFeds 08:08, 18 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. We therefore kindly seek some time to (re-)write the article, as the topic is quite important for interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. Theendofgravity (talk) 08:27, 18 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Doesn't the existing article Observer effect (physics) describe the same thing? Maybe it would be better to paraphrase some of this content in that article? TheFeds 08:30, 18 October 2009 (UTC)


 * This is interesting, thanks - probably best to stick with observer effect (physics), I searched but obviously missed it. This link does not appear on [observer] page either - so I will edit.  Thanks for pointing out.  There are few  "observer" articles, and some general tidy-up might be appropriate. Theendofgravity (talk) 08:36, 18 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Just re-skimmed observer effect (physics) and it really does not touch the topic of what an "observer" is, although it is closely related. For now, as there are many other "observer" articles on Wiki anyway, I request this one remains for a while. thanks. Theendofgravity (talk) 08:38, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Waste of space
This article is an example of why I left Wikipedia. It is just some unsourced personal thoughts on a subject already well covered by other articles. While this may have survived a Speedy Deletion, I see no justification for the continued separate existence of this article. 124.169.204.111 (talk) 01:23, 24 December 2009 (UTC)


 * It's completely plagiarised from an article that isn;t very good anyway. It's got to go. 1Z (talk) 13:21, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

This is a load of pseudoscience crap. why has this not been deleted yet?81.187.36.50 (talk) 09:49, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Human observer.
Humans are made of, and they exist in, three space times. The three are matter, material world and the immaterial world. Matter is observed from the outside as independent units. Material world is the container of observers including the units of matter. The immaterial medium is within us and it contains observations. Each of the three media is the duality of space and time representing static dynamic states. The common property of the three space times is the duality of motivation, causing changes, and the static laws of nature defining organisation. The two basic components can be observed as the interaction between them. It is the observer who creates difference between the three space times. Human observer is the duality of body and soul. Human body, located in the material world, is the duality of matter and electromagnetism. Body, made of atoms, represents static part and electromagnetism is the motivating 'spirit'. Soul is located in the immaterial space time and it is the duality of 'self' and 'mind'. The 'self' is the duality of the limit 'I' and the static unit of time 'now', measuring velocity of the flow of time. The 'self' is a unit of consciousness of that which is being observed. Mind is the duality of existing non-existing observations in the memory. Out of all of these parts only the limit 'I' is perfectly static. The other parts change continuously or quantitatively or a combination of both. The unit 'now' changes continuously within its static state, motivated by the basic dynamism within a particular space sime, directed by the laws of nature. Consciousness of the magnitude of 'now' changes quantitatively when the observer changes his location from one space time to the next space time. Since consciousness is the duality of 'I' and 'now', within the immaterial space time, the observer sees the material world and matter only through the observation in the immaterial space time. (the above truth may be accepted quantitatively through belief or it may require continous and detailed description. KK (84.13.59.41 (talk) 19:31, 3 February 2010 (UTC))

What if: - that the observer is coagulating all particles into reality - timespace springs out of the big nothing, called the void - as a potential. - timespace can only exist in time, in no-time it´s just a potential - in no-time the observer changes particles to it´s law of observation - popability is just what the observed potential is commanded it to be. so there is no impropability. - the outcome of any experiment or measurement is exatly, what the observer wants it to be. hence there are innumerable particles that have not been named yet, since they have to be observed first, to become it´s own reality / life. - teleportation ability to any space and time is a given, when observed (for makro and micro-world) - any particle can be lifted into a higher state of consciouness and energy, until it´s not visible any more - the Observer is not outsite of us, but within us. To answer your question: "What is a no-time Observer?" - Remember: The only impossible thing in the quantum world is impropability. - No-Time can be produced in a electrostatic-field by mind or a generator, a wheel within a wheel (inner&outer), one clockwise, one anti-clockwise. - That No-Time field makes invisible after it is highliy empowered. Same principle as UFOs, that blink in and out of SpaceTime and visibility. - No-Time is wired observer-state of mind in the mid-brain, that is processed in Mid-Brain-area - No-Time needs rewiring from the emotions of the past to the now, like done in candle focus - Technology is always only as great as the observer-mind that produced it. - NOW is the area of propability. - Never give up on change.

What is this article?
I tried reading but the sentences don't even make sense. I'm not saying they are wrong, because that would require some sense be made out of it. Please someone fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.228.247.5 (talk) 13:51, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Reference quantum articles
...Referencing any and all Wikipedia 'quantum-observation' articles to Wikipedia Metaphysics articles would help and expand explanation, citing and sourcing45.49.226.155 (talk) 18:26, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Observation(quantum mechanics)
..."In quantum mechanics, "observation" is"--this is the first explanation of this article, please change the title to "Observation(quantum mechanics)" to match it's first explanation... 45.49.226.155 (talk) 00:28, 30 June 2018 (UTC)Arnold

Erroneous edit
This article is getting trimmed down to death. And wrongly. Take 16:09, 20 March 2017‎ 92.196.100.164 talk‎ 1,104 bytes -1,877‎  removed pseudoscientific paragraphs. undo Tag: references removed ...This rando got rid of a direct example of someone using an incorrect pseudoscientific definition of "observer" while supplying a correct one. It's exactly what the article is about. I'm putting it back in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.122.70.129 (talk) 06:45, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

observer special role
observer special role is right is real 45.56.125.158 (talk) 07:39, 6 June 2023 (UTC)


 * This observer special role is me, I am in China, although this sounds nonsense, but I am sure! 45.56.125.158 (talk) 07:49, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
