@em0rtalitie John Archibald Wheeler's delayed choice experiment. Look it up and stop spreading false information.
Good day to you, sir.

Finally, someone who understands! Everyone seems to think "observation" means "looking at it". If that's what it meant uranium wouldn't glow, genius.

@DaSnipy Also, there's no need to be rude, I was merely explaining what I had learned about the double slot experiment, and how this video's description isn't altogether accurate for the common man. As for passive recorders - that just means that whatever it's sensing is coming to the sensor, instead of the sensor tracking down the object.

@DaSnipy heat sensors require a change in the movement of the air particles in the air, because heat is just kinetic energy inside an atom or molecule. You can see why this would not work, since you need an isolated system for this experiment to work properly. And as for electromagnetism, I know very little, but I believe magnetic field sensors change the charge of the system.

@em0rtalitie omg.. totally wrong, of course there is.. its way easier to detect change in electro magnetic field than to actually SEE something by emitting a photon. Plus why do u consider that observation device is the one emitting photon ? it could just be a sensor in the dark for example heat sensor. I do not accept your premise that you NEED a photon to be emitted by observer to SEE/RECORD something. Nope, there are so many other ways to record something PASSIVELY.

All physicists act like kids when it comes to experiment :D

@DaSnipy Yes I'm assuming that the observing device requires a photon, mainly because all of our observation devices (that I know of) require either a photon, or a much larger molecule to come in contact with an observing instrument. Also, sensors require particles around it to "sense" movement or disturbance in. There's no known way, as of yet, to track something without contacting it with SOMETHING. It's like trying to see without light.

@DaSnipy gosh, this would be awesome, 1 v 1, 1 v 2, 2 v 1 , 2 v 2 pattern 180 degree opposite bombardment pattern ! heh ! we could top controlled sustained fusion in 10 years ! =D.. but i like it .. If butterfly effect to be true, wave more likely than a particle ! though i am a non materialistic particularist ! =D .. Support photon beam linear accelerations ! not waves ! but then again, you could vibrate steel to make it pudding to go in a vault ! :P ..waves rock ! =/
Ok, for everybody who is using this as the basis for their understanding of quantum physics, I want to make this clear: the act of observation is not what's magically transforming the results of the experiment. It's because, to observe which slit an electron went through, we have to shoot a photon (light particle) to observe it, and that photon hitting the electron (how we observe it) disrupts the electron's path, which creates a different result. It's not some mysterious force.

@jabe55 Anyway I'm not interested in pursuing this conversation on this video (or any other more likely) because a discussion with deluded Christians doesn't belong here and doesn't interest me.
