Consciousness causes the wave function to collapse acording to this interpretation. The wave function of any quantum object says that it can go anywhere with a certain probability. Once we make a measurement we can predict future position drawing a probability distribution. Say we launch a 1kg copper ball at 10mps from towards a infinitely large flat screen 10m away. There is a probability p(1000) to land at 1km away from center is extremely low, but it not zero. The ball is a superposition of being everywhere in the universe until it is observed and pinpointed. The probability to be observed on a straight line is something like 10exp1000/10exp1001. The superposition seem to be true, otherwise quantum computers wouldn't work . If we make a measurement at 5m and find the ball on center then p(1000) reduces further. I can now conclude that the whole universe is in a superposition of all possible states but only the consciousness reduces the wavefunctions of the quantum objects it observes to only one however obeying Heissenberg's principle . This needs to be consistent with the past. In the case of quantum eraser experiment it seems that the quantum objects predict what the consciousness will find out and reduce their superposition to only one posibility at the position of measurement then again it continues the wave function from there. All consciousness observers have their own "observed" universe that is always consistent with the past. When two consciousness observers exchange information, quantum eraser effects occur and they will not be able to tell the differences between their own "observed" universes. Q bits for example are in a superposition of being equally 0 and 1 (up or down). Since the universe is made of quantum objects like that it means the whole universe is a quantum system. At a large scale we don't see the probabilities game and things seem certain. I think there a many other exciting conclusion we can draw.
