Isn't that what they say in QM?


Is it? Are you thinking of Schrodinger's Cat? If so, then what it
says in that instance is that you can only speak of probabilities, so
the cat in the box is "half dead" and "half alive" according to the
probability function. Or are you thinking of something else?


Tricky stuff,but Einstein even ask does the Moon exist only
when its looked upon?(objectively real) Tricky thinking. bert
