Ok. Already gave and answer to why this is odd, but.. Just to let you
clarify - How do you "measure" or "observe" what a particle as even
done, without colliding it with something? What process do you use that
doesn't involve a "state change" resulting directly from a scientific
instrument *causing* the state to change? There isn't one, so the
Copenhagen interpretation can't be arguing that "looking at something",
without actually, you know... "looking at it", does anything. By
definition, anything you can/do do, which looks at a particle, involves
*other particles*, so I am unclear what the heck either one of you are
claiming is different here from any other sort of quantum physics.
Again, we can't measure/observe a particle, without interacting with it,
so claiming that "changing" it by observation differs from changing it
by hitting it with another particle is just... not making any sense at all.
