David ..... not sure what you mean......?

If you mean this statement 'The observator influences the observation' it loosely refers to Quantum Decoherence .... I suppose from the heisenberg principle point of view it means that the physical act of observation materially affects the outcome of the observation. It would have a different outcome if not observed.

But today this is not so much the point of view, uncertainty is considered part of the territory observed or not. I think ........ ?
