| Oct 22, 2016 at 2:55 | comment | added | Gottfried William | Just wanted to lead the reader to the surprising conclusion at the smallest scales, where often there is no other observer if some measurement is prevented by a different measuring system existing in place measuring something else. The references have this in common. | |
