| Popis: | An analogy is made with a dream created by a brain to reproduce many of the aspects of our observed reality as described by quantum physics. Among these are the quantum theoretical method of calculating probabilities by means of complex amplitudes, quantum statistics and the disturbance of systems by observation and consequent non-commutation of some observations. Arguments are made for the subjective nature of probability amplitudes, often called "wave functions". Some paradoxes or conceptual problems are resolved or clarified, such as the Schrodinger cat "paradox", the "preferred basis" problem and the anthropic principle. |
