This is from 100 years ago.... are we really moving forward??
The physicist Pascual Jordan, who worked with quantum guru Niels Bohr in
Copenhagen in the 1920s, put it like this: "observations not only
disturb what has to be measured, they produce it… We compel [a quantum
particle] to assume a definite position." In other words, Jordan said,
"we ourselves produce the results of measurements."
Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935, though the idea originated from Albert Einstein. It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics applied to everyday objects.
