Henry Stapp on how Consciousness affects Quantum Mechanics.



Bhikkhu Samahita

Consciousness causes collapse of the wavefunction and thus actively selects the event observed in the future as an agent choosing among the many possibilities physically represented by the probability distribution imbedded in the quantum wavefunction. This ‘agent’ restrains what the possible answer can be by simply defining the question in a way that gives meaning to him! In praxis this implies defining the setup of the experiment in the lab or the ‘setting’ of circumstances in real-life… All intentional choices thereby come to have universal physical effects underpinning the law of karma!

  1. An experiment has been published that disproves the consciousness interpretation of quantum physics: R. H. S. Carpenter and A. J. Anderson, "The death of Schrodinger's cat and of consciousness-based quantum wave-function collapse," Annales de la Foundation Louis de Broglie 31, 45-54 (2006). The idea of the experiment is that a Schrodinger-cat-like experiment is carried out, and two observers then each get partial information about the outcome. Later, they put the two pieces of partial information together, whereupon both observers become conscious of the experiment's outcome. The question then is, when did the collapse occur? Was it at the time of the experiment (when nobody was conscious of the outcome), or later (when Carpenter and Anderson became conscious of the outcome)? They did a series of trials of the experiment. In every trial, the collapse occurred at the time of the experiment. – Art Hobson, Professor Emeritus of Physics, U Arkansas, ahobson@uark.edu

  2. QM doesn't necessarily stipulate that consciousness has anything to do with the outcomes in quantum experiments. What it stipulates is that an recording device of any kind can change a wave function by becoming entangled with the thing being observed. A human happens to be a recording device and the affect is the same if you use a video camera or electronic detector. A camera and an electronic detector does not possess consciousness so that theory goes out the window.
