The Eye of the Beholder: The Role of the Observer in Modern Physics is a 2004 book by N. Vivian Pope, published by phi Philosophical Enterprises.
Overview
The book discusses the scientific conception of nature and the central role of the observer in modern physics. Pope argues for a physics grounded wholly in what is observed, and warns against what he sees as the excessive, unobservable theoretical constructs of contemporary science. Written to be accessible to specialists and non-specialists alike, it develops the "normal realist" outlook underlying the Pope–Osborne Angular Momentum Synthesis (POAMS). See also Light Speed, Gravitation and Quantum Instantaneity.
