    So the unobserved quantum states observe the observer? Every one of them, all the time? I KNEW I wasn’t crazy!

    That would be awesome to have a harem of the same woman from 100 different universes.

    Like the “me” they were all married to in their home universes all died somehow and they came to our universe to be with me.

      Hang on, are you wishing death upon parallel versions of yourself? How would you feel if you found out they are wishing death upon you?

        infinite possibilities. For every Me that died, there’s infinite more that are still kicking.

        So any of the wives of the Mes from alternate universes that have the ability to universe hop and still want to be with My version of Me would make their way here to this universe…I’d need to get a bigger house though.

      “100”?

      Try ∞.

      I mean, I like thick gurls, but ∞ thick is a bit much.

      I believe the measuring apparatus “sees” the outcome and causes the collapse of the wave function. Then the results would look the same to 2 human observers. Apparently there’s some debate amongst physicists on what constitutes an “observer”.

      If there’s anything to see the quantum state has collapsed. The universe is the observer, an emitted photon is an example of an event that will be observed

      That is why only tiny things and things near absolute zero exhibit quantum effects

      This comment might be simplified too far to be close enough to accurate. I don’t know the complex explanation, I’m not skilled in the right sorts of maths
