This huge spike in AQI is caused by unregulated stubble burning in the neighbouring states. Farmers harvest rice and burn the leftovers so that they can hurry up and plant the next crop.
Then they are making compost too (eventually) 😆
Interesting. This is why I favor many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. It doesn’t give a special status to an observer. Any interacting entity including a conscious being gets entangled with the quantum state that’s being interacted with. In the Schrodinger’s cat for example the world splits into two. In one branch the physicist opens the box to see a dead cat. In the other branch, his equivalent sees an alive cat.
On the other extreme it from bit gives the highest privileged status to an observer.
“It from bit” is an alternate interpretation of quantum mechanics by John Archibald Wheeler. It says reality literally is what we choose to observe.

Pollution is a huge problem in this country. Few take it seriously because for most people, life here is all about earning enough to eat and make it to tomorrow.
