Diósi Penrose Theory

Systems are specified with Schrödinger wave functions:


Schrödinger wave functions can be expressed with Hamiltonian eigenfunctions.  In Diósi Penrose theory, Schrödinger wave functions "collapse" to Hamiltonian eigenfunctions due to the spacetime curvature induced by their energy differences:


Greater energy differences imply greater forces driving Schrödinger wave function collapse.  Schrödinger wave functions of elementary particles may not collapse for thousands of years:


On the other hand, macroscopic systems have enormous forces driving Schrödinger wave function collapse:


Measurements involve interactions between measured systems and measuring hardware:


According to Diósi Penrose theory, this is why measurements always correspond to collapsed Schrödinger wave functions.
