@netspeedtube Modern quantum field theory agrees completely with Heisenberg's 1955 quote -- there's no observer required. Please Google "Geant4" to understand how I can simulate the design and running of a collider experiment.
This video is merely a collection of gross misunderstandings, made by a self-described Film School student. For example, Schrodinger's original 1935 "cat" paper described the two-state macroscopic cat as something that manifestly *doesn't* happen.

@OtherVerse 1955 is a long time ago, we are in 2012 year of the supercollider creating little tiny black holes, Science keep revising itself that is the beauty of it.

@ImTheBlackJesus I've always thought philosophy is a misnomer. I see it as the love of not knowing.

@jimmicreesti If a bear shits in the woods but nobody smells it, does it still stink?
-
@ggglllllll Ah but if the dog is also in a box we wouldn't know, so he'd be in a triple state. Drooling, alive and not bothered, or dead. LOL

What came first, Schrodinger's cat, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, or does a bear shit in the woods?
-
@BeerGogglesReviews Yes, since the dog's body still creates saliva....unless the dog was dead for days previous.

@undefinedarknes Use Google Books right now, to read the footnote on p.3 of Landau's much-used quantum mechanics textbook: "Quantum mechanics:non relativistic theory." This Nobel-winning author contradicts the bad information in this video.
Heisenberg wrote in 1955 "...for the observer himself does not produce the transition."
QED processes don't involve observers, so the "measurement problem" doesn't even enter into QED.
Do you see now why this absurd video has no citations?
