It seems your wondering about the "Problem of Consciousness".

The short answer is "humans have no idea where or who or how things observe". Everything in the world seems deterministic meaning the present universe timeslice was determined by the past universe timeslice after quantum physics acted upon it.

Even if we do find out which nuron fires at precisely the time when you sense the color blue, it does not help us determine where consciousness comes from.

Either there is a special way to configure atoms to give them the ability to feel, or somehow consciousness arises from the proper configuration of many atoms. It could be possible that each atom is conscious, it's just that not all atoms have an elaborate self replication system called your body.

It could be that the observer in quantum physics is somewhere beneath the implementation and expression of the atom itself. The atom is not yet understood and we may not be intelligent enough to understand yet. Just as it's difficult for a fly to understand the process of figuring the area under a curve.

Who is the observer in quantum physics? You have to break down the question and ask "how do we know when we have an observer?" Is a monkey an observer? A fish? A bacteria? Is a Chess algorithm an observer? Is fire an observer? Are people in comas observers? Then you have to more clearly define: "who". Who implies a person. Then you have to define Quantum physics.

The observer is manifested through a certain configuration of atomic particles. The observer may be a different form of matter. The observer may be an illusion.

What are some abstract questions that can be explored in the field of quantum physics?

Some abstract questions in quantum physics include the nature of wave-particle duality, the concept of quantum entanglement, the role of observer effect in quantum measurements, and the possibility of multiple parallel universes in the multiverse theory.


What sound does a saxophone make before it reaches the ears?

From the standpoint of quantum physics, there is no sound until there is an observer, so based on that, the answer would be none.


What is the quantum physics of a moose?

There is no quantum physics of a moose. Quantum physics is a type of theoretical physics, and its laws do not apply to physical objects


What is the difference between quantum physics and physics?

Nothing. Quantum is a branch of physics


What is observer effect?

The observer effect is a phenomenon where the act of observing a system changes the behavior of that system. In the context of physics or quantum mechanics, this means that the act of measurement or observation can alter the outcome or state of a particle or system.


What is the difference between quantum mechanics and quantum physics?

Quantum Mechanics is a branch of physics describing the behavior of energy and matter at the atomic and subatomic scales. It explains it itself and Quantum Physics is the same deal. They're just two different ways in saying it.


Examples of modern physics?

Quantum Physics, Astronomical Physics


What are the diff branches physics?

branches of physics are - Neclear physics Electromagnetism Quantum mechanics Interdisciplinary fields Quantum field theory


Is quantum mechanics same as quantum physics?

It most certainly is! It has to do with things that are very small. Atomic [or Nuclear] Physics is essentially the study of the quantum world.


What is the relationship with quantum physics and creme brulee?

Nothing. Quantum physics does not have any rules that affect physical objects


Is quantum physics a joke?

No. Quantum Physics allows us to understand our universe.The nature of electromagnetic waves and particles.


What is the main difference between particle physics and quantum physics?

There is none. To study particle physics you use the whole machinery of quantum physics, but written down in a different way. That means particle physicists use the formalism of quantum field theory, which is a more powerful way of doing quantum mechanics, it's just more useful in this context.
