Do we distil reality from the quantum fog or does it exist without us?

Quantum objects exist as clouds of possibilities, only manifesting as something definite when we look at them. The implication is that we make reality – but objectivity may yet be rescued

This artist?s rendering shows a NIF target pellet inside a hohlraum capsule with laser beams entering through openings on either end. The beams compress and heat the target to the necessary conditions for nuclear fusion to occur. Ignition experiments on NIF are the result of more than 50 years of inertial confinement fusion research and development, opening the door to exploration of previously inaccessible physical regimes
