Physics of Non-Observables

Sunil Thakur

In this paper, we have analyzed a movie recorded by a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to show that the quantum states are real, but not physical. We have then analyzed some natural phenomena to show that this observation applies to all the physical entities. Physical form is only a manifestation of a non-physical entity that has its own unique set of potential properties that it can manifest in physical form. The manifestation of the physical entities is observer dependent. An act of observation manifests a physical entity; it does not create it. We have also shown that we live in a non-physical world in which all the phenomena are mere manifestations.

Recent investigations concerning foundations of quantum theory require new approaches to the problem of observation of physical events. V. Belavkin showed that standard quantum mechanics describes only the closed microworld in which there is no place for some macroscopically visible events. Though any quantum phenomenon is observable from the macroworld. That situation means non‐equivalence of Heisenberg’s representation to Schrodinger’s one in quantum mechanics. It would seem quantum theory is more general than classical mechanics. It is expressed, in particular, by well‐known Bohr’s principle of correspondence. I think the above‐mentioned Belavkin’s result puts under doubt the opinion concerning universal character of quantum theory. What ontological meaning has the concept of existence of physical event? Is distinction between observable event and non‐observable one anthropological, or not? In that context I discuss the new aspects of the observation problem in the physical theory. In my report I discuss philosophical arguments for the thesis that distinction between observable event and non‐observable one is ontological. In this connection I consider a number of objective ontological criteria of observability / non‐observability such as distinguishableness / indistinguishableness of physical states, symmetricalness and asymmetricalness of observation relations. The ontological sense of observation is analyzed in the context of relations between objects which are into spaces with different dimensions.

This work introduces projection geometry as a minimal, purely geometric framework for understanding the fundamental limits of physical measurement. Modeling observation as a measurable projection from a system state space to an observable space, the paper shows that non-invertibility of this projection generically obstructs the existence of invertible observable dynamics—even when the underlying system evolves deterministically and invertibly. The results are derived using only basic assumptions about measurable spaces, projection maps, and physical interfaces, without invoking probability theory, quantum postulates, or statistical ensembles at the level of the obstruction. A central theorem demonstrates that, for generic (non fiber-preserving) dynamics, no consistent invertible evolution can be defined on observable states. The framework is supported by a set of objective facts drawn from geometry, physics, perception, and information theory, highlighting the roles of dimensional reduction, finite resolution, and selective coupling. These structural constraints imply that physical measurement is universally non-invertible: multiple distinct system states are operationally indistinguishable through any physically realizable interface. This perspective provides a unified geometric account of information loss, irreversibility, and observer dependence, and suggests that features often associated with quantum theory—such as apparent state collapse and operational equivalence—may arise as consequences of projection-induced non-invertibility.
