For a century, quantum mechanics has been mired in paradoxes stemming from the role of 'observers' and the nature of reality. Physicist Vlatko Vedral proposes a revolutionary framework where observers, particles, and even spacetime are illusions, replaced by fundamental quantum fields described by 'q-numbers.' This perspective not only resolves longstanding contradictions but also paves the way for groundbreaking experiments that could redefine our understanding of the universe.
