Is the physical whole a sum of quantum measurements?

[Loren Booda]

Are all observations of quantum nature, that the macroscopic universe is just a montage of microscopic interactions we have experienced?

 

[Haelfix]

You might get a bit of a debate about what it means to 'observe', but as a whole i'd say yes most people would agree with that given a few provisions (like maybe QM isn't the whole microscopic story etc)

I cannot definitively say whether the physical whole is a sum of quantum measurements. The concept of the physical whole is complex and not fully understood, and there is ongoing debate among scientists about the role of quantum mechanics in shaping our macroscopic world.

However, it is widely accepted that quantum mechanics plays a significant role in the behavior of particles and atoms, and therefore has an influence on the macroscopic world. This is evident in phenomena such as superposition and entanglement, which have been observed in experiments.

It is also important to note that our observations of the macroscopic world are limited by our technology and perception. While we may experience the world in a macroscopic way, it is possible that our observations are just a small part of a larger, quantum reality.

Ultimately, the question of whether all observations of the macroscopic world are fundamentally quantum in nature is still an open and ongoing area of research. As scientists, we continue to explore and study the complex relationship between quantum mechanics and the macroscopic world in order to gain a better understanding of our physical reality.
