Does the concept of observation have deep relevance in fundamental physics? What about in quantum physics where some kind of observation seems to be needed to transform “wave function” probabilities into actual events? What’s an “observation” anyway? What does it take to be an “observer”? Must it have some kind of sentience?

Andreas J. Albrecht is a theoretical cosmologist at the University of California, Davis. He received his PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in 1983 where, with Paul Steinhardt, he wrote one of the original papers on “new” or “slow roll” inflation.

The observer, or the god who lives in you can be various levels of awareness. When it become aware of itself, we feel bliss and ecstasy. Attachment to body mind and emotions bring the observer to these levels of intense awareness and it suffers. Because observer is here to experience life as it is not as what it created. It is like you buy an expensive car and you can enjoy driving around only when you sit inside without any outside botheration. We can enjoy life only when we stay as an observer not as what it created.
was a little profound
What does it mean that observer in all quantum branches (many worlds)? Is the observer connected to quantum mechanics / measurement?
Does time / energy uncertainty play role in transition from quantum probability to classic determinism?
Observer turns quantum probability in neuron into classical energy?
Quantum uncertainty and probability in neuron?
To travel to the present, Information from the past uses future quantum probability?
Cosmological information from past time not have quantum answer?
Probabilities from quantum uncertainty as quantum uncertainty about future time?
Probabilities refer to future time?
What role might time / energy uncertainty play in quantum probability and measurement?
Does time effect quantum probability(s) for measurement?
"Theorists can invent any theories they want". This sentence alone tells us theories are not Truths. Maths allows all possibilities. What is Logical can be perfectly Unreal. Scientists do not know most or almost everything in nature even when they already know a lot. Oxymoron? Don't blame me, blame Language metaphors. Language a flawed tool to describe reality
If you want to represent natural phenomena accurately, you can not use a probability. Probabilities do not exist in the objective universe, they only exist in a subjective perspectival experience.
Well that's flat wrong.
When we use probability in day to day life it's always due to our not knowing exactly which circumstances we are in. So there probability isn't an elephant outside my front door but that has nothing to do with quantum indeterminism. Let's assume there isn't an elephant outside my front door. Then the question is how could there be? And then we make up a different possible past that would have produced an elephant outside my front door. And for all I know until I open the front door that possible past is the actual past. But when I see the elephant isn't there I don't think and elephant could be there with exactly the same past.
Special relativity has no conservation of time. So what of conservation of information? You can't solve for two non complex points.

Not a word about how we jump from quanta to neurotransmitters, across orders of magnitude. I hope that this clip was taken out of context. If not, please stop wasting our time.
Pity he didn’t give an overview of everettian. Define its implications. But an interesting man. It reminds me of Einstein’ asking a young American Catholic priest what is the Eucharist. He wanted to know. It takes all kinds to makeup a world and all kinds are in it
And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
John 17:11-21 KJV
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; And in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, That bringeth forth his fruit in his season; His leaf also shall not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Psalm 1:1-6 KJV
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 7:15-23 KJV
You can be densely against God and his word or you can be densely in his word.
Jesus Christ is the only one that gives evidence truth and balance to probability.
"..the kind of observer I happen to be." How does that translate into measuring devices? Is the LHC an eye 👁? Connected to whose brain? Is a scale or thermometer an observer? Is there a measuring device that can tell you "what kind of observer you happen to be"? A measuring device that can tell you the probabilities of everyday events? How would you know they are right?
Isn't a probability a prediction? Not just an observation? What kind of observer is a predictor? How does it differ from an observer?
Excellent…. thanks 🙏
I am observant,I observe the 🌞 staring at the sun then the my hometown becomes cooler and I see many shadows suns at the sky like flying saucer
Like how you left out the pretentious monologuing narration and depressed posing.
I observe that lebron is the greatest athlete in all of sports.
