Understood. Does it have anything to do with consciousness affecting the result ?
No, that's a common misconception. People just tend to associate the word "observation" with consciousness, but for all intents and purposes "observation" is simply an interaction with the system. *That* is what causes wave function collapse.

Thanks. Apparently when I say this to some, they tend to say I’m wrong. I even have a fellow physics major who thinks that wave function collapse has to do with “observation” in the sense of consciousness. He’s too smug for me to correct tho.

Ask him to point to where in the equations the "consciousness variable" is that accounts for this.. when he can't ask him how he can say it's a part of the mathematical model
