The phenomenon of ‘back-action’, in which the act of measuring or observing changes what is measured, has been limited to the mirco scale of quanta and therefore while true of quantum mechanics has not effected Newtonian physics which is the rule at the macro scale of observable phenomenon. However, recent studies indicate this phenomenon can now be transferred to the macro scale via Nanomechanical systems. These are objects of less than a micrometer but significant is the fact that they are made up of billions of atoms and the effects that usually only register on individual atoms and molecules, effects nanomechanical systems i.e. multi-atom systems. [“Observing and the observed”, Michael Roukes, pg. 154, Nature]
Suggested study: using the example of a common architectural scale, make one for the following work:
Quantum Physicist scale
Physician scale
Businessman scale
Opera singers scale
Astrologist scale
Artist Scale
Q: What has temperature to do with measure?
Q: Is this the cause of conflicting field measurements?
Q: Should temperature be part of our survey as well as personal profile of the surveyor?
