OMG! My mother was telling me about this the other day! I'm only an 11 year-old, and ever since she told me this, I've know that I truly want to be a Quantum Physicist. I've read and read, and I just love it ^^ It's wonderful!

Just a question here, how exactly are we observing this?  Could the device that's observing this be the cause of the change in pattern?

[ChipByers]

The building block of our universe is not matter. It is consciousness. Nothing exists in the form we see it as, unless we are there to observe it. Therefore, what we see and observe is only an illusion. Therefore, it is in the exploration of our universe, that our universe is created.

@wizardoflawz Even interference was ruled out. JoonasWTF in this chat has suggested looking up "delayed choice quantum eraser".

[wizardoflawz]

@therealjammit so perhaps the measurement is in some way interfering with the thing causing it to act like a wave. it seems to me that the only thing we know is that we can't measure it without affecting it, not what the true nature of the interference is, or the true nature of the particle. But I would suggest that identifying the interference would also probably ending up being a very large breakthrough

Sadly, I got the wrong idea every time he said slit. Great vid though! (y)

[therealjammit]

@wizardoflawz You've actually made a point. We don't know exactly how the particles went through the double slits. We thought it was a wave, it acted like a wave, but the moment we tried to find out which slit it went through, the particles started "behaving" like particles instead of waves. This shouldn't have happened.

mind over matter?

I agree with you that quantum theory is "weird" because we lack the knowledge to truly understand it, but it is proved through experiments and mesurments that electrones in their natural state could be found at several points at a given time, or jump to other locations and that's the basis for schrodinger equation and theroem. For example, electrons are able to "jump through" potential barriers where classic particles can't.
