Why do people think quantum mechanics requires a conscious observer? This is not a difficult question; it’s an easy question. The problem arose because Quantum Mechanics does not describe what is happening at any moment; it only describes probabilities. Some people, instead of recognizing that there must be a gap in the theory, jumped to the ludicrous conclusion that nothing happens until someone looks. That gap was filled later by Quantum Field Theory, but unfortunately this theory is either forgotten or ignored or misunderstood. That’s why I wrote my book, now in it’s third edition (see quantum-field-theory.net).
