  I suggest that the common unease with taking quantum mechanics as a
fundamental description of nature (the "measurement problem") could derive from
the use of an incorrect notion, as the unease with the Lorentz transformations
before Einstein derived from the notion of observer-independent time. I suggest
that this incorrect notion is the notion of observer-independent state of a
system (or observer-independent values of physical quantities). I reformulate
the problem of the "interpretation of quantum mechanics" as the problem of
deriving the formalism from a few simple physical postulates. I consider a
reformulation of quantum mechanics in terms of information theory. All systems
are assumed to be equivalent, there is no observer-observed distinction, and
the theory describes only the information that systems have about each other;
nevertheless, the theory is complete.
