⚛️ 🤔 #QuantumPhysics Explained Simply – #ParticipatoryReality! 🌐🔭

Does #reality only come into being through #observation?

What initially sounds like #metaphysics is actually a serious #concept within modern quantum physics: the idea of the #participatoryuniverse, coined by #JohnWheeler.

In the #Zoomposium with #GerdGanteför, we discuss precisely these questions at the #frontiersofphysics:

🌌 Participatory Universe – When Information Shapes Reality 💫

In another short film from our #Zoomposium with #GerdGanteför, we delve deeply into the question of what #reality actually is. Is there a boundary between #system and environment – or is everything connected via #information?

“The mere presence of a black hole is enough to turn a particle’s hazy ‘superposition’ — the state of being in multiple potential states — into a well-defined reality. ‘It evokes the idea that these black hole horizons are watching,’ said co-author Gautam Satishchandran, a theoretical physicist at Princeton.

New calculations suggest that the event horizons around black holes will ‘decohere’ quantum possibilities — even those that are far away.
