About this listen
Does reality exist independently of observation?
In this episode of The Thinking Behind Reality, we explore the unsettling idea that observation is not passive—that measurement and interaction play a role in shaping outcomes.
Rather than standing outside reality, observers are part of the systems they observe. This episode examines how observation, measurement, and interaction challenge traditional ideas of objectivity.
Reality may be more relational than we expect.
If this way of thinking resonates, follow the show for more reflections on science and perception.
Keywords:
observer problem, observer effect, does observation change reality, measurement in physics, quantum observation, philosophy of science, understanding reality
