Translating theory into something that can be assessed in the physical environment means that phenomena are made measurable. It is often assumed that the phenomenon being measured is the same no matter how it is measured. Translations of theory into practice may differ, but these do not alter the nature of the phenomenon being measured. Without this assumption, measurement between different individuals made in different places or at different times could not be compared. The assumption does not, however, mean that this viewpoint is correct. Within quantum physics there is a view that the observer and the phenomenon cannot be separated. The observer and phenomenon make up a single system, a measurement system. In this context it is not possible to separate the measurement made from the measurement system within which it was made. The measurement and the phenomenon become combined in an unbreakable link in the measurement system. It is impossible to talk of a separate existence for the phenomenon and so also, therefore, to talk of an independent measurement of that phenomenon. This means that within the supposedly objective, hard science of physics, it is accepted that reality and how it is measured form an inseparable whole.
====================================
This passage is really hard to understand. I applied all the theories, even religious and philosophical ones and Einstein's theory of relativity.
Which of the following or any other do you think this passage, especially the underlined parts, intends to say ?
1. The measurement results can be objective in any measurements systems - just one result, but can be perceived as different depending on the testers.
- For example, even the result of measuring the absolute length of 10cm of an object can be perceived as 9cm, 10cm, 11cm, etc depending on the measurer.
2. The measurement results can be subjective and differ depending on the testers.
- For example, even the result of measuring the length of 10cm of an object can differ as 9cm, 10cm, 11cm, etc depending on the measurer.
