Resolution: electrons are trolls of science.

"A wave of potentials". Matter makes a choice ONLY when we observe it. The simple act of looking at something, gives it an existence. Sub atomically

[Ksenia Kolyadina]

So that was years go, did they figured out what had happen and why?

[slashiesmokesweed]

electron is a child that fantasizes about becoming a famous painter, or an astronaut, or a movie star... even the most exotic outcome is possible.

observer is the father that tells electron to choose between studiyng law or economics... it simply makes more sense ಠ_ಠ

[Lieven be]

can you explain what they understand under observing? A camera just captures reflected rays but the reflected rays are always there even without a camera thus the particles should always be interfered with no? Or do they assume, when not observing, that there is no rays nor light whatsoever (they only look at the scattered results afterwards) ?

Under the lack of ray/light assumption, the electrons might interfere with other particles? The presence of rays might influence this interaction.

mind. Fucking. BLOWN. So if we choose not to observe anything, than nothing exists? Even the whole universe? Just simply looking at something gives it existence? What the fuck!?!

Thanks to Quantum Physics I now run around my house yelling at people "Are you real?"

[slashiesmokesweed]

to observe something, the wavelength of the ray the observer observes with has to be smaller than the size of the particle the observer is observing.

problem: the shorter the wavelength, the more energy it carries; when this energy hits the particle, it interferes with the outcome....

ELECTRON Y U SO SENSITIVE ლ(ಠ益ಠ)ლ ???

MIND FUCKING BLOWN!
