This is not quite the same as the âmeasurement problemâ for quantum mechanical systems, where our measurements of such systems involves hitting them with electrons or photons or other stuff very similar in properties to the system weâre trying to measure (and where that measurement is not simply revealing the pre-existing state of the system but collapsing the wave-function to make the state youâre measuring).

I have blogged about ethics and science since 2005, and I am committed to the goal of helping scientists and non-scientists do a better job of sharing a world with each other. The origins of the Prime Directive began with humanity's first great exploration of the galaxy around them in the 2150s, with the Enterprise. (TNG: "Angel One"), The Prime Directive is not a matter of degree. The executive summary of the order given in the 1968 episode âBread and Circusesâ is: no identification of self or mission; no interference with the social development of said planet; no references to space, other worlds, or advanced civilizations. The Prime Directive did not apply equally to all societies on all planets at all times. Most Human colonies were excluded from its coverage altogether; but Human settlements established by aliens prior to official Human first contact were still covered, as they were regarded as pre-warp civilizations.
