It's hard for us as humans to visualise. For one thing, there are no 'two dimensional worlds' ('Flatlanders') Laying pencil to paper actually makes 3 dimensions. And there are NOT any 'little balls of matter'. Electrons, for instance, can be seen as either matter or as waves, depending on the type of experiment. Essentially, they can be treated as both. Look at the Feynman lectures, and read Shrodinger and Heisenburg to get a better idea. These cartoons are worthless.
@theanswer00 the idea is, you cannot observe something without interfereing somehow. Only a 'god' can observe without interacting as Einstein would say.
@theanswer00 well in order to see things, photons must bounce off them and into our eyes. How do you see things that are just as small as photons? It's like if we had a dark room, and there are marbles inside and we can't go in and count them. The only way we can know where they are is by rolling some more marbles in and listening for a sound. But now the marbles have moved and changed places. We have introduced matter and energy into a closed system, altering its total state.
The observer did not collapse the wave function simply by observing. To observe the particles the observer needs to set up a photon electron coupling device to detect them and it is this photon electron coupling device that interferes with the particles, causing them to collapse from a wave to a stream. Watch 'Is the observer effect true or false?' for real science not this dumb pseudoscientific misleading semi religious bullshit.
well no shit, what do you think the word "observing" means? If im observing a chair, im gunna need to either shine a light on it to see it, throw something at it, hit, or interact with it in some way to confirm that it is there. In the same way if im checking a tire pressure i have to let some air out and now the new pressure is no longer the same, and in that my very existence changed the quantity of air in the tire. if you think that is religious bull then u should really see a doc.
i dont see how mesuring it will change anything, but okay what if the electrons are unstable and can branch out from the slits in other directions by becoming energy and back into particles as soon as they hit the board??
@Tyroniix Eh? Electrons can't spontaneously become energy & flip back again - I don't think this can be defined in a way that would necessarily make sense to our intuition. The point is, the electron is both a particle & a wave at the same time, as long as no-1 is looking. But if u observe it at the slits by measuring it, it can't be both, so it collapses into one state - the particle. It's like a spinning coin mid-flight: if u observe it by catching it, it can only be heads or tails- not both.
I believe a greater understanding of the dynamics of light and time will explain the paradoxes of quantum physics without consciousness coming into the equation.
@nickharvey7 I know what you mean, but light and time r dealt with in Relativity mainly. Light is irrelevant to this since a photon is far larger than an electron! As for time - some quantum phenomena may send information back thru time. If so, it has HUGE implications for causality, as we could send msgs back in time!
But consciousness may well be important in all this - it could be a quantum phenomenon in itself - our brains being a kind of quantum computer. Crazy stuff, &proper science too!
I have read that physicists have seen antimatter moving backwards in time but it is always annihilated in a flash of light (photon). But would it not make more sense to see this process as part of the forward passage of time of matter because we live in a Universe of matter not antimatter. Relativity is a beautiful theory but it does not explain the arrow of time. Consciousness must be a quantum phenomenon at the quantum level just like everything at that level.
