Content: It suggests that the only observer in the situation is some conscious human outside the box. This is a quantum extension of an earlier question that may have been asked by Philosopher George Berkeley, in his work, A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge(1710) and paraphrased centuries later in Scientific American as, “If a tree were to fall on an uninhabited island, would there be any sound?” If a tree falls in the forest with no one around to hear it, does it make a sound? These are all incorrect interpretations of the observer effect. In each one, there is an underlying assumption of a conscious observer altering or fulfilling the results in the real universe with their perception or knowledge. In the double slit experiment, the observer has an effect by knowing which slit an electron or photon passes through. In Bishop Berkley’s tree falling in the forest, the sound is only present if there is a human ear to hear it. In Schrodinger’s Cat, the state of the cat is undetermined until the box is opened and a person looks inside. When does the eye observe? At the retina?
