@Danisfail "It wasn't because it was being watched, it was simply because the measuring device interfered with it" - Then explain the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment where the only measurement is made on an idler photon AFTER its entangled signal photon has already been absorbed by a detector, and the signal photon STILL, before any measurement is made, either shows the interference pattern or not, depending, seemingly, on whether or not we make the measurement in the future.
would it not be possible to measure from both slits so that the "disturbance" would balance and cancel each other allowing the truth to be revealed? (and if someone else already asked, i didnt read 497 comments to find out.)
Could you please do a video about Quantum Eraser. It actually contradicts this one a little bit, because it *does* matter if we 'observe' or 'interfear'.

So when the particle is launched it has an equal chance of going though the left or right slits. THIS WOULD BE THE LOGICAL HYPOTHESIS IN THE XPERIMENT
Isn't the problem than that trying to measure a particle traveling from one source through two planes and onto a single detector the problem? I mean if two particles were fired at the exact same time using the same parameters as the double slit experiment wouldn't the result be uniform and similar to the single slit experiment?

This stupid video is a copy job of the stupid Dr. Quantum video found here on YouTube. They're both incorrect about the double slit experiment's results. The videos should be removed because they're WRONG. Variations of this famous experiment have been performed where it can be determined which slit a particle passed through without completely collapsing the wave. Quantum physics is real. It's just that these videos GOT IT WRONG. Don't be spooked by these videos. They are WRONG. Thank you.
I don't know if another video is on YouTube that correctly explains the experiment & its results but you can read about it in numerous places. The basic idea is that with a point particle such as an electron, it is effectively impossible to determine its LOCATION. However, that is different than determining which slit (if any) it passed through. Any apparatus used to determine which slit a particle passed thru will have an effect on the particle but that doesn't necessarily mean wave collapse.
It has been repeatedly proven & shown that it can be determined which slit a particle passed through without completely collapsing the wave. I'm sorry but you're wrong. Just read up on it. There have been many variations of this experiment. The type of apparatus used to make the 'which slit' determination will have an effect on the particle. If something like a camera is used, photons will greatly disturb the particle and will collapse the wave. But other methods can be used. So, you are wrong.
photons are affected by air. Blue photons are scattered by air. Infrared photons are absorbed by CO2 and H2O in air. UV is absorbed by O3 etc etc etc.
@ordinarydellusions "why dont we shoot this creepy head right in the double slit and see how it behaves?"
Bad idea. You will not just have a creepy head. You will have a creepy zombie head which is in a superposition of being both dead and alive at the same time.
Question? how do the electrons move across space. The marbles move atoms away to get to one point from the other and are affected by gravity. Do photons move across atoms like electricity, from one outer shell to another? They seem be resistant to gravity. Do this experiment in a vacuum.....
@HowellBarclay The electron experiment is done in a vacuum (extremely small and narrow tube, not like this video shows, but same idea). Photons have no mass, so they pass the air, they don't travel along it. Photons, although truly mass-less, are affected by gravity at extreme levels (i.e. black holes are black because they even affect light).
I would really like to see this thing in real life!! I'm tired of watching animated people with the same words trying to explain it... It's animated, kinda hard to believe when it aint real...
this is copied word for word from Dr. Quantum, they even copied the same mistakes. I say this because, graphics aside, the cahnce of doing this independantly and making the exact same misinterpretation about the "observer" is almost unheard of.
The "Observer" is the Photon we use to measure the position of the electron by exchange of momentum to create uncertainty on momentum and hence more certianty on position, which must balance the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
Is this apart of parallel universe theory? so if we watch the proton it only goes through one slit, meaning in another universe it goes through the other? I'm probably wrong, i don't understand much about parallel universe, but knowing this makes me think it links the two together.
@Princebaldwin21 yes the is apart of the parallel universes theory put out bu hugh everet this exprement was done with atoms electrons and photons so hugh everet showed this with amayzing mathmatical detail and sense the duble slit experement was done with atome and if atoms can be in more places then one than thats how you branch of into parallel universes
All right thanks, I thought it made sense! Someone else told me that parallel universe and quantum theory were completely different. Thanks for the response!
I thought the same thing. However, I see that there is a major difference. This one goes out of its way to explain that the reason for it going back to normal is because observation requires interaction. Dr. Quantum tries to say that the universe was consciously aware of it, so it willingly changed.
for god's sake: the particle does not change behaviour because some one is watching, it's not a conscious thing. It's just that to measure its behaviour, we need to interact with it. that's what causes its behaviour to change.
so at the least, PLEASE stop calling it 'observation' and start calling it 'measurement', because observing implies a passivity that is not the case here.
@Rocksolid88 Pretty much what you said. Also, what if we found a way to measure where the particle is after it leaves the slit device? UNIVERSE IMPLODE
@Scremph I read your reply and expected a "but, " and then some griefing. but as I read it through it became more of a lol, and at the ending statement I was like: LOLOLOL.
@Rocksolid88 I recently discovered that they DID find a way to plot where the wave/particle goes before it approaches the slit without damaging the experiment. They found that the interference pattern still exists even if you observe it. So much for uncertainty principle. LOLOLOLOLOL. Uncertainty is as believable as ghosts.
@Rocksolid88 Thumbs up indeed. I dislike how this leads people to the conclusion that human beings looking at this experiment with their eyes is what affects the outcome. This, and many other videos can be quite misleading.
@evilerjolly that isnt at all what its sayin by mentioning observation, you need to stop takin things so literally n getting misslead, you dont measure anything with your eyes do you, they try measuring it n it destroys the wave pattern.. gawd!
@Baaaarny1 "it was as if the electron decided to act diffferently, as though it was aware that it was being watched." "it seemed as if the observer collapsed the wave function simply by observing" "
Saying things like that can be misleading. They don't make it clear that when they say "observer" they mean the measuring device is what's causing this. Yes, they mention the device and that it affects the outcome, but they need to clarify the definition of observer better to avoid confusion.
@evilerjolly its only missleading if you dont realise any measuring or lookin is observing, the thing is a measuring device would be observing it, be it directly or gettin a read out, doesnt matter if your a person near it lookin or a device, its aware, they have had experiments fail cause someone walked past the room its in, it "reacts" with "us" somehome
@evilerjolly " It's just that to measure its behaviour, we need to interact with it. that's what causes its behaviour to change." being near it, looking at it, measuring it, your interacting with it, with its existence! if a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound?..... get your head around that n itll help a lot of thought experiments
@Rocksolid88 mate, think you need to go realise that measuring it in any way would be an observation, you would be just looking at it, you have clearly no idea, take your little childish tantrum elsewhere, its behaviour changes cause you interact by observing and it is conscious of you interacting with it, observing it, looking at it, whatever, it knows, you cant handle that you cant understand it can you
@Rocksolid88 so when measuring is there any physical interaction with the photons being measured making them act different? i just wanna understand a bit better
@911adt not necessarily with photons, but with particles (photons are just a result of a type of fusions between particles). Particles on that scale are too small to observe - literally too small to 'see'. So we can only measure them mathematically, after viewing the consequences (!) of their behavior with experiments. i.e. we can't see electricity, but we do see a light glow because of it.
The bad part of this is that these experiments mess with the particles, which changes their behaviour.
Photons are not being measured. Photons are emitted from the light source that is used to observe the electron. The emitted photons "hit" the electron and disturb it, which causes the wave to collapse That's why other methods need to be used (for observation) to prevent complete collapse of the wave function.
@Rocksolid88 The problem is that we don't know, so as long as there is no proof yet, people can speculate on this as much as they want. But I agree with you that I do not believe that the electrons are conscious. Or are they? ^^
@Rocksolid88 Well said - the new age and noetics fuck with quantum theory as if things were connected, as if electron split in two - they dont - they only exist in a fuzzy region of probablity and exhibit wave like properties - its as simple as a that and more importantly, thats all there is to it. It means we indeed can not determine the position of a basketball as in the film, but in interaction, its only in one place - and the fuzz factor is very tiny [0.32 zeros x] - its not mystical.
good lord this is the most fantastic example of PLAGIARISM i have ever seen in my life. completely ripped off the dr quantum cartoon from "what the bleep do we know" and i mean word for word.
@mysticx0 Was thinking the exact same thing. Maybe they had permission or something. Also, it would be awesome if merely trying to observe this pattern changed the behavior of the video. I'm taking this too far,
@Quartrez he does nothing of the sort, this is word for word exactly what was said on the same movie you just put down. its an absolute clone with no deviation; only the animation is different. and yes that "wtf do we know" is total BS....
@mysticx0 No no no, "wtf do we know" ends with the Quantum guy saying it's as if the electron knew it was being observed and then it switches to something else. Here, the head actually explains that it's the Principle of Uncertainty.
@Quartrez points for you :) i didnt sit through all 5 minutes of plagarism i got a little more than halfway through before realizing i saw it somewhere else and better done. but good job for pwning me :)
instead of measuring the particle going through the slits.....fire one particle at the slits and capture it as it splits to go through both slits at once. A single particle might be captured as two particles as it passes through the slits.
Or cover the slits with a thin membrane...then fire a single particle and see if it busted a whole through both sides of the slit. Like a kid throwing a rock through a window you can see the damage left behind.
@Ajscosmos very interesting point, I see what you mean.
What Im getting at is the Heisenburg principle really sucks and I think we can find a way around it. I would like to challenge everyone who reads this to put our collective heads together and come up with a way to do it. I don't like principles that say "I cant" do it......fuck that, we can!
Can physicists a little bit change this experiment and install those electron/laser sensors not only at the end as it is now but also on the sides so area between the slit barrier and the back sensor is surrounded with another sensors from every direction? Maybe there will be also patterns on those side sensors and not only on the one in the video..
@Nightbass89 i'm not sure what your saying but you can always try it yourself the double slit experiment is pretty easy to set up all you need is a laser pointer and a double slit.
@Ajscosmos I mean if you consider symbol = to be the actual wall with sensors and l l electron beams then I would like to install additional sensors in every possible direction (symbols "l" and -) below:
@Nightbass89 Yeah Ive been waiting for a team of people to get together and really tackle this, observe all dimensions, use several different observation tools and forms of measurement... You'd think with all the controversy and popularity over this, that someone would have done just that.
@Nightbass89 I was thinking the exact same thing while watching Dr. Quantum from What The Bleep Do We Know. impressive use of the basic keyboard symbols to form a reasonably well detailed sensor layout by the way.
The dual nature doesn't inspire me: Sunlight contains the same duality. What does get me wondering is, how does any observation take the endless potential out of the electron, and reduce it to simple Newtonian Physics? WTH! Seriously, I don't buy the measuring interference explanation. At least not to the degree of the effect science says it has on the electron's nature. STILL EMBRACING THE IDEA THAT IN THE QUANTUM WORLD THINGS BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY IF THEY ARE BEING WATCHED OR MEASURED.
Obviously the electron HAS to have a dual nature, otherwise no macro particles or waves would exist, where both of these phenomena consist of electrons. It has a "dual" nature only from the macro perspective. The macro realm only has one nature and that is whatever nature is brought to it by the interactions of subatomic particles.
Also, it says "Werner Heisenberg proposed a new uncertainty principle describing this" ... Heisenberg died in 1976, how could he possibly propose a new ANYTHING?? This video is a lie designed to lead you away from the truth about the nature of reality.
Ok if a photon travels in all directions simultaneously as a wave, and only materializes as a particle in a spot which is being observed... try this.. Put the emitter in an opaque sphere with the two slits. Do not observe the two slits, or what goes through the two slits, but instead measure the rest of the inner sphere. Do particles appear all around the emitter? If so do they make a pattern or just randomly appear all around. Lets see the results.
There seems to be so many interpretations of the double-slit experiment. From my understanding, the electron is believed to take every possible path simultaneously connecting its firing point to the screen - it has no definite position, only when observed. I believe that the uncertainty principle is due to Plank's constant which deems we can not measure simultaneously two complementary variables; it does not have anything to do with the act of measuring the position as it emerges from the slits.
To measure the position of an electron you must bounce at a minimum one photo off ot. That is enould to disturnb the electron.
When you observe anything, it is light bouncing off it into you eyes or light coming from it. The light then goes into a detector or your eye.
Electrons do not shine. They do not give off light. They do not make noise. They do not smell. The only way you can know where it is by shining light onto it or seeing where it impacts a phosphor screen.
ok, what about this? its kinda hard to explain but, the protons somehow jump into the forth dimenion, when we try and place a messuring device there. measuring devices can only measure the 3rd dimention. relitivaty suddenly realises that the whole thing doesent work and so it quickly goes back into the 3rd dimention againgiving the 2 slit effect again. theres a big gap... but im thinking..
Very ingenious graphics work, and lucid explanation, but the observable patterns on the virtual screen were very hard to see during the electron sequence, and I have seen a similar animation using the same script where the patterns were much clearer.
However, as a guide to the fundamentals, this is better than OK. Regrettably, I can't claim to understand much more about quantum physics than is shown here, but it is a fascinating subject for those with the mental ability to deal with it.
Furthermore, experiments have been done as long ago as 1987 that prove you can detect which slit a particle has passed through without completely destroying the interference pattern – debunking the theory that particles mysteriously change their behaviour when we ‘look at them’.
In Summary: Disappointingly, the double-slit experiment is merely no more than a mildly interesting experiment on the effects of diffraction.
@TheQuantumMaverick could u site me ur source for these experiments that prove u can detect which slit a particle goes thru w/ out destroying the pattern. this video was very insiteful towards the end and sorta demistyfied the idea of objects ' knowing' when they were watched and i would like to read or view more like it.. it seems as if there are 2 versions of this video both very scientific. i would like to know which is right. do objects " know" or are they being influenced by devices.
This explanation was proposed by ‘Neo Diffractionites’ (found in a Facebook Quantum Physics discussion)
If a laser is aimed close to, but not above, a knife edge, some photons will bend over the top of the knife edge due to diffraction (demonstrating that diffraction starts at the front edge)
Thus if the slits are close enough (near the ‘wavelength’ of the oscillating particle), there will be a zone where the front-edge diffraction effects overlap; this overlap causes the interference pattern
A new and very simple explanation of the double-slit experiment has been posted on the Facebook ‘Quantum Physics Discussions’ page (the title of the posting = ‘Idiots propose an alternative explanation of the double-slit experiment’).
Is there any merit in this theory or are these ‘Neo Diffractionites’ just troublemakers?
All that needs to happen for one particle to react instantly to another over a large space without a message having to be sent faster than light, would be if they were connected like the two ends of a rope. If I spin my side clockwise, then the other end would seem to spin counter clockwise to someone looking at it. So there must be an ivisble force connecting the two, WHOA, did I just explain this in a classical way lol.
This is exactly why people hate science, because of lame videos like this; a floating chrome head -_- how cool (sarcasm) Don't get me wrong though, I love science...just seems a little condescending.
@ledzeppelin4892000 I completely agree, after watching this. I'm not even sure if everything it just said is a lie. Does this really happen when they fire electrons through two slits. Because the part where he says that if they place a measuring tool there in only goes through 1, but when they just look at it, it goes through both seems a little weird to me. If that's true I'd like some references. I havn't spent much time studying quantum mechaniks, this is news to me. But i think i solved this

this is copied word for word from Dr. Quantum, they even copied the same mistakes. I say this because, graphics aside, the cahnce of doing this independantly and making the exact same misinterpretation about the "observer" is almost unheard of.
The "Observer" is the Photon we use to measure the position of the electron by exchange of momentum to create uncertainty on momentum and hence more certianty on position, which must balance the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.

Is this apart of parallel universe theory? so if we watch the proton it only goes through one slit, meaning in another universe it goes through the other? I'm probably wrong, i don't understand much about parallel universe, but knowing this makes me think it links the two together.

I thought the same thing. However, I see that there is a major difference. This one goes out of its way to explain that the reason for it going back to normal is because observation requires interaction. Dr. Quantum tries to say that the universe was consciously aware of it, so it willingly changed.

for god's sake: the particle does not change behaviour because some one is watching, it's not a conscious thing. It's just that to measure its behaviour, we need to interact with it. that's what causes its behaviour to change.
so at the least, PLEASE stop calling it 'observation' and start calling it 'measurement', because observing implies a passivity that is not the case here.
do us all a favour and thumb this the fuck up.

@Baaaarny1 "it was as if the electron decided to act diffferently, as though it was aware that it was being watched." "it seemed as if the observer collapsed the wave function simply by observing" "
Saying things like that can be misleading. They don't make it clear that when they say "observer" they mean the measuring device is what's causing this. Yes, they mention the device and that it affects the outcome, but they need to clarify the definition of observer better to avoid confusion.

@evilerjolly its only missleading if you dont realise any measuring or lookin is observing, the thing is a measuring device would be observing it, be it directly or gettin a read out, doesnt matter if your a person near it lookin or a device, its aware, they have had experiments fail cause someone walked past the room its in, it "reacts" with "us" somehome

@Rocksolid88 mate, think you need to go realise that measuring it in any way would be an observation, you would be just looking at it, you have clearly no idea, take your little childish tantrum elsewhere, its behaviour changes cause you interact by observing and it is conscious of you interacting with it, observing it, looking at it, whatever, it knows, you cant handle that you cant understand it can you

@Rocksolid88 so when measuring is there any physical interaction with the photons being measured making them act different? i just wanna understand a bit better
911adt 5 months ago
@911adt not necessarily with photons, but with particles (photons are just a result of a type of fusions between particles). Particles on that scale are too small to observe - literally too small to 'see'. So we can only measure them mathematically, after viewing the consequences (!) of their behavior with experiments. i.e. we can't see electricity, but we do see a light glow because of it.
The bad part of this is that these experiments mess with the particles, which changes their behaviour.
Rocksolid88 4 months ago
Photons are not being measured. Photons are emitted from the light source that is used to observe the electron. The emitted photons "hit" the electron and disturb it, which causes the wave to collapse That's why other methods need to be used (for observation) to prevent complete collapse of the wave function.

instead of measuring the particle going through the slits.....fire one particle at the slits and capture it as it splits to go through both slits at once. A single particle might be captured as two particles as it passes through the slits.
Or cover the slits with a thin membrane...then fire a single particle and see if it busted a whole through both sides of the slit. Like a kid throwing a rock through a window you can see the damage left behind.

Can physicists a little bit change this experiment and install those electron/laser sensors not only at the end as it is now but also on the sides so area between the slit barrier and the back sensor is surrounded with another sensors from every direction?

Obviously the electron HAS to have a dual nature, otherwise no macro particles or waves would exist, where both of these phenomena consist of electrons. It has a "dual" nature only from the macro perspective. The macro realm only has one nature and that is whatever nature is brought to it by the interactions of subatomic particles.

Ok if a photon travels in all directions simultaneously as a wave, and only materializes as a particle in a spot which is being observed... try this.. Put the emitter in an opaque sphere with the two slits. Do not observe the two slits, or what goes through the two slits, but instead measure the rest of the inner sphere. Do particles appear all around the emitter? If so do they make a pattern or just randomly appear all around. Lets see the results.

There seems to be so many interpretations of the double-slit experiment. From my understanding, the electron is believed to take every possible path simultaneously connecting its firing point to the screen - it has no definite position, only when observed. I believe that the uncertainty principle is due to Plank's constant which deems we can not measure simultaneously two complementary variables; it does not have anything to do with the act of measuring the position as it emerges from the slits.

@halfasheep
To measure the position of an electron you must bounce at a minimum one photo off ot. That is enould to disturnb the electron.
When you observe anything, it is light bouncing off it into you eyes or light coming from it. The light then goes into a detector or your eye.
Electrons do not shine. They do not give off light. They do not make noise. They do not smell. The only way you can know where it is by shining light onto it or seeing where it impacts a phosphor screen.

Very ingenious graphics work, and lucid explanation, but the observable patterns on the virtual screen were very hard to see during the electron sequence, and I have seen a similar animation using the same script where the patterns were much clearer.
However, as a guide to the fundamentals, this is better than OK. Regrettably, I can't claim to understand much more about quantum physics than is shown here, but it is a fascinating subject for those with the mental ability to deal with it.

Furthermore, experiments have been done as long ago as 1987 that prove you can detect which slit a particle has passed through without completely destroying the interference pattern – debunking the theory that particles mysteriously change their behaviour when we ‘look at them’.
In Summary: Disappointingly, the double-slit experiment is merely no more than a mildly interesting experiment on the effects of diffraction.

This explanation was proposed by ‘Neo Diffractionites’ (found in a Facebook Quantum Physics discussion)
If a laser is aimed close to, but not above, a knife edge, some photons will bend over the top of the knife edge due to diffraction (demonstrating that diffraction starts at the front edge)
Thus if the slits are close enough (near the ‘wavelength’ of the oscillating particle), there will be a zone where the front-edge diffraction effects overlap; this overlap causes the interference pattern
