"ANTON ZEILINGER: The problem is related to the question Your
Holiness raised yesterday: How can we validate cognition without any
truly existent object? I don't accept Arthur's position, although I
admit it is unquestionably possible. I don't accept it because, if I
apply quantum analysis and the superposition principle to everything,
then everything dissolves and loses its well-defined properties. I
must be careful about how I speak and what questions I ask. So to
make sense of what I am doing, I choose not to apply my quantum
analysis to the pieces of the apparatus. I simply posit them as
existing, with well-defined properties. I restrict myself, in the
Copenhagen interpretation, to making the statements about properties
of the quantum objects independent of the apparatus. I have accepted
the apparatus beforehand as existing and as well defined."
(P. 152)
And I shouldn't be able to recognize that this is playing with a
marked deck? Geez.
