This myth that human consciousness can somehow "collapse" a wave function persists, even though it has long been scientifically refuted. Early quantum physicists such as Niels Bohr or Werner Heisenberg used terms such as "observation", which led to confusion. Some believed this was literal, as if the human mind influenced reality. This is of course not so.

Measuring devices should be built independently of any personal whims, calibrated orderly and also tested so that they actually measure what they are supposed to. So there is unlikely to be a “placebo effect”. If it does happen, I wouldn't call it the "placebo effect", but simply human error. So there is hardly any need to philosophize about how such technical errors come about. And you certainly don't need special psychologists to hold your hand and accompany you emotionally through the construction.

If errors still appear, it is more likely due to the environment. But that is no longer part of the measuring device.

And (I am sorry to speak it out as it is) the rest is absolute nonsense .I can guarantee you that neither your presence, your "aura", nor your mental state will be a problem (unless you take your tests completely drunk).

I can only advise you to eliminate such nonsense from your brain as quickly as you can and concentrate on what is important. It might be fun to binge your head with some esoteric YouTube videos and stuff portrait on social media. But don't let such fake information confuse you. That doesn't get you anywhere personally.

What I am eluding to is that we (as a product of the variables producing macro reality) trying to examine the individual variables that "make" us. Are essentially injecting ourselves into the pre-summed equation and since we have a "value" we alter the equation before it is solved and this creates a paradox. Now this equation specifically is irrelevant. Any equation would work for the analogy but if we take E=MC^2 and say that "E" is observable reality. Then as creatures of observable reality. We bear a percentage of "E"'s value. Then when "E" examines "MC^2", according to the law of forensics, we both leave something behind and take something with us. There is no pure observation without affecting that which is observed.

So my question is, How might we measure the systems disturbance by our observation and does "consciousness" or "our value" affect the variables producing macro reality. Carmen Wrede

William Morehead Depends on which of the pills you took. If you took the blue one it makes you believe everything and anything is possible. If you took the red one: No.

If you are really trying to quell disinformation and align peoples thinking with what you believe is sound reasoning. You doing a very poor job establishing any Ethos for yourself or your opinions Carmen Wrede

If you want to get technical as to your statement that human consciousness collapsing the wave function being a myth. How is it then, that the instrument of measurement came into contact with the quantum system being measured in the first place? Or, how did the instrument come to be made? All of these "variables" in the wave function collapse came from human consciousness and thus play a role in wave function collapse.

William Morehead Yes, instruments are developed by people. However, the instruments themselves function based on physical principles, completely independent of direct human intervention. As I’ve already pointed out, human error is the more reasonable explanation. So we don’t need a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse magic show to make sense of it.

Even if no human were there to build the instruments, such interferences or interactions could naturally occur. It’s not consciousness that causes the wave function collapse but rather the physical interaction of the system with its environment or measuring apparatus.

Are you seriously trying to troll people here? It’s hard to believe that someone claiming to be involved in engineering could overlook something so fundamental.
