“This superposition only collapses into a single state when the system is observed... “
Sounds suspiciously like “If a tree falls in the forest.....”
To quote Bishop Berkeley:
There was a young man who said, "God
Must think it exceedingly odd
To find that this tree
Continues to be
When there's no one about in the Quad.
Dear Sir, your astonishment's odd
I am always about in the Quad
And that's why this tree
Continues to be
Since observed by yours faithfully, God.
