Weirder and Weirder
T here are some scientists who claim that consciousness is required for quantum mechanical wavefunction collapse, though they are unable to define consciousness (surely the prerequisite for invoking consciousness in any viable scientific theory).
Wikipedia says, “The von Neumann–Wigner interpretation, also described as ‘consciousness causes collapse [of the wave function]’, is an interpretation of quantum mechanics in which consciousness is postulated to be necessary for the completion of the process of quantum measurement.”
So, consciousness here is that which performs perceptualism (observation), but how does it do it, and what is it? What is its ontology? What is its scientific epistemology?
Wikipedia says, “In the orthodox Copenhagen interpretation, quantum mechanics predicts only the probabilities for different outcomes of pre-specified observations. What constitutes an ‘observer’ or an ‘observation’ is not directly specified by the theory, and the behavior of a system upon observation is completely different than its usual behavior: the wavefunction that describes a system spreads out into an ever-larger superposition of different possible situations. However, during observation, the wavefunction describing the system collapses to one of several options. If there is no observation, this collapse does not occur, and none of the options ever becomes less likely.”
If the Copenhagen Interpretation were something promoted by a religion, scientists would go out of their way to slaughter it. It is, after all, a preposterous, irrationalist speculation. However, because it was invented by Nobel laureates, it is defended to the hilt by all the scientific glove puppets (who love nothing more than to appeal to authority, a classic logical fallacy).
You cannot under any circumstances have a “reality” based on unreal probabilities and random collapse of unreal probabilities into real things – a grotesque category error and one where the cause has less reality than its effect (the cause is unreal and the effect miraculously real).
The whole point of the Copenhagen Interpretation is to avoid the inevitable rational conclusion, in accordance with the PSR and Occam’s razor, that reality is in fact mathematical and not scientific, that mathematical wavefunctions are real entities and not unreal abstractions, that reality is made of noumenal mathematical waves and not phenomenal scientific matter, that conceptualism is fundamental and perceptualism secondary, that reality is based on rationalism and not on empiricism.
Wikipedia says, “It can be predicted using quantum mechanics, absent a collapse postulate, that an observer observing a quantum superposition will turn into a superposition of different observers seeing different things.” Only if you have a totally false idea of what quantum mechanics is! Quantum mechanics is based on objective reality, not on some weird science fiction fantasy of observers splitting into countless cloned versions of themselves, each observing the world differently (according to different probabilistic outcomes).
Scientific “thinking” involves an automatic attack on Occam’s razor. Rather than accept one objective reality, and rather than generate explanations within that one reality, scientists generate infinite realities, infinite worlds – the Multiverse. Why offer an actual explanation when you can offer infinite non-explanations?
The Multiverse is the biggest violation of Occam’s razor and the PSR there has ever been.
