Specifically, the idea is that most of the world is quantum entangled, &amp;#x27;observation&amp;#x27; then has the effect of entangling the observed particle with &amp;#x27;most of the world&amp;#x27;. The &amp;#x27;waveform collapse&amp;#x27; is then the result of this entaglement with everything causing the waveform to concentrate heavily.&lt;p&gt;Is this concept debunked by this paper, or could it be that &amp;#x27;destroys entanglement&amp;#x27; actually means &amp;#x27;becomes entangled with almost everything else&amp;#x27;?</text></comment>

In that case, isn&amp;#x27;t it inevitable that heat destroys entanglement? Because the transmission of heat means some photon has to interact with one of the entangled particles.</text></comment>
