标题： Night Thoughts of a Quantum Physicist

摘要： 理论物理在下一世纪最引人注目的发展可能来自于我们在解决目前尚未解决的基础性问题上取得的进展。 在本文中，我考虑了我们面临的两个最深层次的问题，即量子理论中的测量问题以及将意识与物理学其余部分联系起来的问题。 我回顾了一些关于可能解决测量问题的近期有希望的想法，并解释了对意识的正确物理理解会涉及什么，以及为什么它需要新的物理学。 显示英文摘要

摘要： The most dramatic developments in theoretical physics in the next millennium are likely to come when we make progress on so far unresolved foundational questions. In this essay I consider two of the deepest problems confronting us, the measurement problem in quantum theory and the problem of relating consciousness to the rest of physics. I survey some recent promising ideas on possible solutions to the measurement problem and explain what a proper physical understanding of consciousness would involve and why it would need new physics.
