43. General Term: Bohr, Niels (1885-1962)
He was
the founder of atomic quantum theory and the Copenhagen interpretation of
quantum physics.
His
theory denied the possibility of a unified, observer-independent field. His
own interpretation, the heart of his Copenhagen philosophy,

45. God, Humanity and the Cosmos Topic: Does God Collapse the Wave Function?
In effect
this would be the quantum-mechanical version of Bishop Berkeleys idealism .
This is memorably summarised in a couple of limericks:
