Experimental metaphysics with first-person perspectives, by Dr. Eric Cavalcanti
The Nobel Prize in physics in 2022 went to scientists who, for over 40 years, have carried out a series of experiments indicating that, contrary to materialist expectations, physical entities do not have standalone existence but are, in fact, products of observation. This result is extraordinarily relevant to our understanding of the nature of reality, and so Essentia Foundation, in collaboration with the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, Vienna, of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (home to Prof. Anton Zeilinger, one of 2022's Nobel Laureates in physics), organized a conference discussing the implications of this result. The conference was hosted by IQOQI-Vienna’s Dr. Markus Müller and featured seven other speakers.
In this presentation, Dr. Eric Cavalcanti, from Griffith University Center for Quantum Dynamics, discusses experimental metaphysics with first-person perspectives.

Thanks for posting!
R.I.P Materialism. As Constitutive Pansphychism seems to be truly incoherent, (See Essentia Foundation's Idealism Course, part III), here's a question: Is this non-phisical reality Consciousness itself (Idealism), or is it an "ousia" which can present itself as both mind and matter (Dual-aspect monism)?

The two perspectives of analytic idealism remind me of this
nice
The wave-function, and its unitary evolution together describe *ensembles* of *reversible* systems - a tiny set as our universe is generically irreversible due to the radiation arrow of time. Neither Wigner nor his friend are reversible hence there is no paradox to be resolved. More generally, there is no measurement problem to be solved. When a reversible systems is brought to interaction with an irreversible one, as must be the case during `measurement', the initial wave-function and its evolution become nonsensical. Distinct ensembles, represented by distinct wave-functions, corresponding to distinct post measurement outcomes must then be defined for QM to be relevant post measurement, and the collapse postulate is just that complementary statistical ingredient, bridging the pre-post measurement gap, giving weights to different outcomes.
Wonderful presentation and chat. Do we know if Essentia plans to be sharing each and every event from the conference? Hope so, especially great if we can see any of the longer group conversations.
Thank you 👏
How can materialism be definetively defeated?
