Anyone else addicted to this channel?

It's interesting, the terms observation and measurement are expanded to included any phenomena interacting with any other phenomena. When a photon hits a surface, the photon "measures" the particles that it hits and diffuses across as much as the surface measures the proton, to the point that measurement is really the effect of an interaction and one might say the interaction itself is the observation. Definitely not how we're used to interacting with those terms.

Thanks for sharing.

One love

Void, I haven't watched the video yet but your description reminds me of something I'm reading in Korzybski about how our standard Aristotelian identity logic is insufficient when describing the nature of the universe. The universe is instead these probability fields that exist in relation and, like you said, the interaction of that relation is the observation. It's not one thing observing the other thing. There is an interaction between things and that is the only thing that can be observed.

Watching that video felt fascinating.
His descriptions of things and how he tied things together around the research were very engaging.
I especially enjoyed learning about the idea that gravity works against super-position. I would have thought it silly until he described how a particle in super position would distort space time in more than one way and that the persistent expression of the wave function we call reality just wont abide that.

Wild stuff, thanks for sharing @Jamie01

Yeah Anton is a wonderful person I love his stuff, been following him for many years now. Some proper interesting stuff on his channel, like the recent video he made on "viroids" and how they're everywhere, yet nobody seems to know what they actually do or why they exist.
