Well, I'm wondering how it can have physical effects without being physical... what philosophers call 'the problem of interaction'.Why would it? You can't destroy something that isn't physical.

I wasn't suggesting a physical object, but what about a field, e.g. a quantum field? fields are physical.It is generating a scalar volume in spacetime. A physical object can't be in all possible paths of interference because its weight would multiply. We are talking about the unobservable side of QM bridging over. This reality is is a closed system inside infinite coherence.
Is that so?What field is physical? They are coherent until there is an excitation. ..decoherence in a coherent system.
In essence yes, I can measure the electric field.Can you touch a field? What are you saying makes it physical? Decoherence is physical. It can be a finite wave packet. It is disorder of an orderly coherent wave.
A 10 tonne rock isn't quantum definable. Yet your criteria for what is 'physical' is decoherence (which is quantum).Can you touch a field? What are you saying makes it physical? Decoherence is physical. It can be a finite wave packet. It is disorder of an orderly coherent wave.
You answer is based on incoherence not decoherence.Yeah ..uhh, what is measurement to you? ..It's Decoherence.
And now your conflating quantum mechanics with quantum field theory.Why can we send atoms into the double slit and still get coherent interference patterns?
Fields describe something that has a physical value at every point in space. Being coherent doesn't make something non-physical - something physical must exist in order to decohere. Superpositions are real and physical.What field is physical? They are coherent until there is an excitation. ..decoherence in a coherent system.

This response is as relevant as some guy posting a video on a couple of snarling Tasmanian Devils.Open your eyes, I'm telling you this place is only possible because of original sin.
