Abstract
This paper defines quantum observation as conversion of tiny (attojoule or less) packets of energy and momentum into statistically irreversible Boltzmann heat. Under this definition, quantum waves never “collapse” but instead grow so fractally convoluted in one region of space that their entangled properties in remote regions of space become statistically irreversible and persistent over time. The implication is that far from being a rare phenomenon that depends on such hard-to-define phenomena as human awareness, quantum observation via atto-scale creation of Boltzmann heat is the most common of all quantum phenomena and the underlying basis for the very existence of “classical” matter and objects.
