The Problem of Conscious Observation in Relativistic Description
Rajat Kumar Pradhan
Abstract
The role of the conscious observer in Relativity theory is investigated with a view to unifying it with quantum theory
on the basis of consciousness. It is argued that contrary to popular belief, the relativistic observer is not merely the
reference frame i.e. the scaffolding of meter-sticks and clocks, but is also conscious. This fact has remained hidden for
long, since classical measurements have been taken to end with the interaction of the system with the apparata,
whether any conscious observer subsequently reads the resulting pointer state of the apparata or not
Keywords
