- Could different outcomes have different physics in Wigner's friend?
Summary: Could different outcomes have different physics in Wigner's friend?
Physicist Eugene Wigner said that consciousness was fundamental for physics and that laws of physics existed because of it. He said that "consciousness can change the usual laws of physics"
He also proposed the "Wigner's friend" mental experiment (analogue to Schrödinger's cat) where two observers could experience different realities or observe different outcomes for the same experiment.
But what about the laws of physics? Could these different realities differ in their laws of nature?
