What about in quantum physics where some kind of observation seems to be needed to transform “wave function” probabilities into actual events? What’s an “observation” anyway? What does it take to be an “observer”? Must it have some kind of sentience?

For sure, one of my favorite channels on YouTube. I'd like to thank you Robert and Peter for such a great iniciative. It's amazing to be introduced to all these new concepts and interpretations of so many different areas of knowledge. I wish I had 'n' more lives to study most of these themes. Thanks to your Channel I sort of can reach this extra time. Congratulations for your project. Best regards from Brazil.

All we have are perceptions and thoughts, that take place in consciousness. Why postulate a material world outside of us? Maybe we are infinite, eternal consciousness that has localized and limited itself in time and space.🤔

Trying to locate quantum particles is like trying to know what number your dice will land on..We could know what number the dice would land on, but we lack all the required information, and the same with quantum physics...Like Einstein said...But quantum mechanics is complicated, people generally don't understand how small these particles are..
