The Measurement Problem

To help support this ministry click here: http://www.patreon.com/inspiringphilosophy What constitutes as a measurement in quantum mechanics? Can it be completed with a measuring apparatus or does it extend further than that? This video is about the measurement problem in quantum theory and the implications of it reveal shocking truths about the nature of reality. I'd like to thank physicist Fred Kuttner for reviewing this video. After also hearing that Bruce Rosenblum had passed away I decided to dedicate this video to Bruce Rosenblum. His work with Kuttner has been major influence on my videos and I appreciate all the work he has done thought His career.
