Quantum Mechanics Is Physics Not Magic

Quantum mechanics is physics, not magic: the historical Copenhagen interpretation gave the act of observation special status and led even professional physicists to think consciousness plays a role in wave function collapse, but today almost nobody holds this because we have equations and mechanisms (decoherence) that make measurement happen regardless of consciousness, so claims that consciousness brings reality into existence are nonsense.
