Abstract: Abstract Unlike classical physics, modern physics depends heavily on observer’s state of mind or environment. Quantum mechanics depends on how we measure physical quantities, and this issue has not yet been completely settled. In relativity, observers in different Lorentz frames see the same physical system differently. The importance of the observer’s subjective viewpoint was emphasized by Immanuel Kant in his book entitled Kritik der reinen Vernunft whose first and second editions were published in 1781 and 1787 respectively. However, using his own logic, he ended up with a conclusion that there must be an absolute inertial frame, and that we only see the frames dictated by our subjectivity.
