Re: for cavediver: what is the "observer" in quantum physics

Your view is quite in line with the majority view of physicists, certianly those working on the underpinings of qunatum phenomena. Conciousness is not a required part of classical emergence from the quantum realm. I like your point about the brick. So, not nonsense at all!
Have you ever heard of the Transactional Interpretation by John Cramer? If so, do you feel it is as good an interpretation as the Copenhagen?

Re: for cavediver: what is the "observer" in quantum physics
I don't feel I have the education in physics to give an informed answer.
That aside, I don't think it is that crazy at all; especially considering how antiparticles can be thought of as their particle counterpart travelling backwards in time, advanced electromagnetic waves are predicted during photon emmision (I think), and the relativistic Shrodinger equation is time symmetric.
