Regarding quantum mechanics, when interjecting our consciousness into physical reality, I note that hubris leaps to the fore. How facile is it to grasp that the perception of reality is the place where probability seems to collapse, and not the actual reality itself? Yet it seems that myriad brilliant folks have utterly failed to even contemplate that it might be entirely in their consciousness that the event they attempt to describe occurs.

For me, it is a certainty. Physics underlies all hard sciences, and across every field of research the laws of physics are consilient, and are able to be logically grasped from principle. Quantum mechanics isn't consilient with all other observations, and the explanations of quantum phenomena aren't logically based on reasonable principles. In questioning the basis for this extraordinary contradiction I am forced to consider our consciousness and limited ability to perceive reality.

Given the apparent dependence of quantum phenomena on our perception and consciousness of them, I conclude that it is more reasonable to hypothesize that such phenomena appear to violate consilience with well established physical observations due to our inability to perceive or conceive of them, rather than an inability to conform to physical reality.

Thanks!
