  • The physics of first-person perspective: an introduction by Dr. Markus Müller

The Nobel Prize in physics in 2022 went the scientists who, for over 40 years, have carried out a series of experiments indicating that, contrary to materialist expectations, physical entities do not have standalone existence but are, in fact, products of observation. This result is extraordinarily relevant to our understanding of the nature of reality, and so Essentia Foundation, in collaboration with the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, Vienna, of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (home to Prof. Anton Zeilinger, one of this year’s Nobel Laureates in physics), organized a conference discussing the implications of this result. The conference was hosted by IQOQI-Vienna’s Dr. Markus Müller and featured seven other speakers. In this first video, Dr. Müller introduces the theme of the conference and explains its relevance.

physical entities do not have standalone existence but are, in fact, products of observation

It is only an observer's descriptions of observations, not the entities being observed, that "do not have standalone existence." None of the referenced experiments, have ever even suspected the existence of an ultimate loophole, much less closed it. It turns out that quantum theory, is not describing any "state of matter" at all; it is literally, a theory that only describes the statistics of the act of detection itself - analogous to RADAR signal-detection theory.
