Recent developments in quantum theory suggest that the available values of a physical quantity, such as a foot size, can depend on the type of measurement used to determine them. If feet were governed by the laws of quantum mechanics, foot size would depend on the markings on a foot measure to find the best fit\u2014at the time of measurement\u2014and even if the markings were changed, the measurement could still be precise.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-02-experimental-measurement-dependent-realities.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Experimental demonstration of measurement-dependent realities possible, researcher says<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shoe shops sell a variety of shoe sizes to accommodate a variety of foot sizes\u2014but what if both the shoe and foot size depended on how it was measured?
