hi,

 

I was wondering, shouldn't the outcome(s) of the double-slit experiment solve the observer effect / measurement problem ?

Can you say a little more?

In regards to my question on the double-slit experiment solving the observer effect / measurement problem..

 

I mean, since the experiment shows that the act of observation somehow effects the observed. And the measurement problem or observer effect, which ever you like, precisely revolves around the plausibility of an observing system (such as a brain, like us), causing a system under observation to become a single state or one possibility, what ever that may be. Shouldn't the experiment then directly solve / explain the effect...

It confirms the effect, since having "which path" information destroys the interference, but I don't know if you can say it explains the effect.
