WANNA KNOW WHAT REALITY HAS BEEN REDUCED DOWN TO? HOW ABOUT... 'ASSHOLES' SEEING HOW MUCH DO-RE-MI THEY CAN EXTRUDE FROM YOUR WALLET AT LIGHTSPEED...... thats our current 'reality'

powerstone2: It is true that there is single-slit diffraction, but the effect is negligible. For slits that are thin enough, the effect can be ignored and the slits regarded as point sources.

Sounds right to me zpconn2. ironraptorstudios- you're not wrong either I believe (read up on 'quantum entanglement'). All matter in the Universe is connected. This may be through higher (invisible to us) dimensions. If this is the case and we could see these then the Universe would look very different on micro and macro scales.

If memories serves me well,a)shouldn't you get single slit interference pattern with the electrons as well? b) All matter can behave like waves and vice versa via the de Broglie equation, so shouldn't the matter in the video also create interference given the right conditions?

Or am I forgetting all that I learned? lol

skborn, exactly! It's almost like detecting a bullet flying through the air by firing more bullets at it.

"It's path changed. It's almost like it *knew* we were observing it... *cue spooky music*"

To which, in the spirit of QM, I will respond with "no duh" and "wrong" at the same time.

As soon as we modify the experiment to determine which slit the 'electron' passed through, the quantum nature of the energy means that we have changed the conditions of the experiment and the interference pattern disappears.

By detecting whatever is passing through both slits, you are disrupting their paths and putting them out of synch with each other, therefore affecting the resulting pattern.

It means that Quantum matter is aware of us watching it. Which is pretty weird.... to say the least.

Heh.. I watched this thing in it's entireity, it almost seems that quantum mechanics and physics follow an almost buddhist-esque doctrin in terms of there bebing a oneness in the universe, and that stars, moons, planets, people, animals, are merely aspects of the same thing. It breaks down time being linear, and more... like a page with lots of dots on it, and stabbing at that page blindfolded, probability and all that.
