Is an object the measurement that you make, or the thing that you measure?
I've often thought about this when tripping. Or wondered would maybe be a better term.DmnStr8 said:Sounds like Schrödinger's cat. Quantum physics has run into many problems with measurement. The measurement changes as soon as it is observed. The double-slit experiment has left many questions as to how our reality really unfolds. It would seem that the quantum world is in a state of constant flux. It only takes a form as an object when it is measured. Until then it is in many states in many places at the same time. It is interesting but a little over my head. I have read a few books over the years and it created more questions than answers for me. I don't think even the brightest scientists in the world get it either. Perhaps they should smoke some DMT?
I'm not realy familiar with deleuze.Use any name said:Sounds like Deleuze's body without organs.

Objects as abstractions, transcendental generalizations, where as the thing you measure is immanent, subjective, and can't be made into an object. Like has been said, the object is the position and the thing that you measure is or has momentum.
It's just that when people have talked about objective reality they talk about it as if it's somehow primary, if it's objective it's "real". I don't know if I'm confused about what real means but at the moment it seams like it means; not my experience.
The idea "chair" is a measurement and isn't the thing that you sit on. But you sit on it anyway.
