The Basketball Game Thought Experiment, Revised

Authors: Georgina Woodward

Analysis of ‘Is the Moon there when nobody looks?’ has been left out as it can be separately read. As has other evidence of the unseen and unmeasured existing.Rules of the game are set out as is the apparatus. Where there is logical similarity to the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment it is pointed out. The game ends when the first basket is scored i. As is the implication of having an observer observe the observer. i.e. not directly observing the outcome acquired from a player.
