Electrons and observer, Heisenberg Copenhagen experiment

Video about the interactions between the observer and electons, the observer can change the behaviour of the electrons, this experiment results could change our wiew of the universe and our relationship with the matter, can we shape it?

I recommend two book in particular:
- The Olographic Universe by Michael Talbot
- The Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra

This video is poorly done and i think its confusing a lot of people. The act of observing doesn't cause the collapse of the wave function. it is the LIGHT that the observing instrament radiates that interacts with the particle causeing the collapse. At least this is what ive come to believe. Please correct me if im wrong.

Not always is just the light that changes things, sometimes seems to be only the observer, i think that in a not so far future, we will discover a lot of things about these happening that now seems to be so strange.

This cartoon is taken from the most biased and un-scientific film ever made: 'What The Bleep?' That film takes a few quotes from scientists of varying schools and then it's interpreted by journalists and spiritual guides and churned out as SCIENCE.

This is a classic example. It's close to reality, but it implies that some kind of spiritual conscious being changes the outcome, which simply isn't true.

Until 100 years ago, 99% of scientists were laughing at the Einstein theory, now it's a Dogma. Science leads at a form of ateism, but at the other part at a sort of science-religion, because everything scientific it's untouchable like dogma. I think that these could be theory, not far from science, end we have so many things to discover in this new science era.

@FirstTruthSeeker Science is not dogma; dogma by definition is undisputable. Everything science puts forward is completely disputable and can be proven wrong if given evidence.

Heisenberg in his writings on the Copenhaguen interpretation stated clearly the difference between an observer and a measuring device. The guy in this video is plainly disregarding this difference so he can give space to this movies mubo-jumbo.

In my opinion, this video -as well as the double slit experiment, and Schrödinger's and Heissenberg's postulates and equations- are only simple consequences of the first hermetic principle: The All is Mental. Universe is mentally created, -as a sort of hologram-.

C'mon "solid people"; don't be that scared about that, and look at yourselfs: You are FULL of VACUUM. Matter is just particles vibrating.

@ButtplugClock because its part of human nature to question anything my friend

[DattebayoAMVs]

@mpd19666 tbh, it didn't confuse me, its clearly simple to understand

[tberrardy]

I agree it's not supernatural, but it is just as mysterious! 

[maplebayou1]

@tberrardy The problem is that the photon, or whatever we use to "illuminate" the particle does not have to interact with it directly. This interaction doesn't even have to occur during the particle's lifetime. QM may not be supernatural, but it is quite revolutionary.

[tberrardy]

@mpd19666 There is a lot of confusion on that issue. According to Leonard Suskind in his book 'The Black Hole Wars: ...', it is the photons used to illuminate the particle that cause the collapse of the wave function. I suspect that some religious people may deliberately or through wishful thinking try to exploit this phenomena to support their supernatural beliefs.

@ButtplugClock I'm simply trying to point out that attempts to "demystify" QM by resorting to classical explanations will not succeed. That does not mean that "quantum mysticism" is justified. It does mean that we have to abandon LOCAL MECHANISMS, which is quite revolutionary.

why is everyone trying to act so smart when commenting on a video for 6th graders?
