"The Measurement Problem"?

Question

I just wanted to get some ideas, theorys or just thoughts on the "Measurement Problem" !

Answer 1

How about every measurement you take is wrong.

Why?

Because you can not take an exact measurement. There is always some real error.

Answer 3

I would say the easiest way to understand it is this.

When we try to measure the exact position of a particle, we can read the position exactly, but in doing so, we affect its momentum.

When we try to measure the momentum of a particle, we can read the momentum exactly, but in doing so, we affect its position.

Therefore it is impossible to know both at the same time with perfect accuracy.

This was first described by Werner Heisenberg. (Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle)

It there were a method of measurement that did not effect the momentum or position, while trying to measure them, then we might finally be able to solve both at the same time, but there is no way to do that as yet.
