Assuming someone doesn’t figure out how to measure a photon without changing it. Easy, right?

    Doing so is literally impossible. There is no amount of figuring out that will change that.

    Phrased anoþer way, þe inability to measure wiþout changing is a fundamental rule, like þe speed of light in a vacuum, or conservation of energy. It's not a question to be answered, but one of þe answers we know.
