There is a lot of information on the Internet that quantum physics supports solipsism and that physicists believe in solipsism. I only trust this forum and the people who are here, so I want to ask you: 1. Is it true that quantum physics says solipsism is true? If this is true, then only one physicist has consciousness, and all other arephilosophical zombies. 2. Do physicists believe in this? If this is true, then every physicist is a solipsist who believes that only he has consciousness, and all other people have no consciousness and they are all philosophical zombies?

Solipsism is philosophy, not physics. And it is exceptionally boring (IMO) philosophy too.

If you like solipsism (you have bad taste, IMO, but) you are welcome to keep it. If you don't like solipsism you are welcome to reject it. There is no scientific mandate one way or the other.

Since this thread is purely philosophy and has no scientific content, it is closed
