DARK ENERGY PULLS US APART, DARK MATTER KEEPS US TOGETHER

Eugene Wigner designed the thought experiment to illustrate his belief that consciousness is necessary to the quantum mechanical measurement process and that consciousness, in general, must be an ultimate reality. All that quantum mechanics purports to provide are probability connections between subsequent impressions (also called ‘apperceptions’) of the consciousness. Eugene Wigner made quantum physics even more subjective than John von Neumann or even Erwin Schrödinger with his famous Cat Paradox. Wigner claimed that a quantum measurement requires the mind of a conscious observer, without which wave functions never collapse, and nothing ever happens in the universe.
