>have copenhagenfags ever explained what a "measurement" is?
Copenhagen advocates, particularly those aligned with the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, have indeed grappled with the concept of "measurement."
In this interpretation, measurement is a central and somewhat enigmatic concept.
Here's a simplified explanation:

>Measurement and Observation:
According to the Copenhagen interpretation, the act of measurement causes a quantum system to "collapse" from a superposition of states into a single, definite state. For example, an electron's position or momentum becomes well-defined only when measured.

>Role of the Observer:
The interpretation emphasizes that the observer and the measuring apparatus play a crucial role. The process of measurement is not just about passively recording data; it actively influences the quantum system.

>Complementarity:
Niels Bohr, a key proponent, introduced the principle of complementarity, which states that certain properties (like position and momentum) cannot be precisely measured simultaneously. The type of measurement determines which property becomes well-defined.

>Ambiguity of "Measurement":
One of the criticisms of the Copenhagen interpretation is the lack of a clear definition of what constitutes a "measurement." Does it require a conscious observer, or is it sufficient for a physical interaction with a measuring device? This ambiguity has led to debates and alternative interpretations.
