Copenhagen (ko´pen-hâ´gen),
city (1988 pop. 468,744), capital of Denmark, E Denmark. It is a major

it survived attacks by the HANSEATIC LEAGUE and Sweden, became Denmark's

According to the Copenhagen Interpretation invented
in the middle of the Carlsberg brewery 1926 by Niels Bohr, the world-as-known-to-science
is not a model of the real
world but is - at one step removed - a model of the human mind building
a model of the real world. The science of sciences, then, THE SCIENCE,
the fountainhead, becomes epistemology, which is a branch of human psychology,
which is a branch of primate psychology and of primate neurology.
The primate genetic imperatives of territoriality, pack hierarchy, rage-threat
reflexes, rule by an alpha male, all play a role in the theorizing/modeling
of domesticated primates like us. Or, as Eddington said, "We have
certain preconceived notions of location in space that have come down to
us from ape-like ancestors." Get into your brain, into the Jungian collective
unconscious, the DNA
archives, to find the origin of philosophy, art, and modern physics including
the Copenhagen Interpretation.

John
von Neumann and other physicists came to the conclusion that "consciousness
can be the only agency responsible for the collapse of the wave
function." For that Copenhagen Interpretation subscribe the belief that
"the mind, by collapsing the wave function, creates what we observe, from moment
to moment."
