There is soooo much misinformation out there that for the non-physicist, it is difficult to know whether to trust one source or not.
So, one thing I do not understand is, based on what I've read, how QM does or does not require consciousness. It seems a debate that has been going on almost since the birth of QM. In any of the mainstream interpretations of QM I've read about, any attempt to exclude the conscious observer results in the appearance of other flaws that would be solved had the observer been allowed to stay in the equation.
This is why I need a reliable source; self-research has brought me to way too many sources of misinformation.
