I am not an expert in physics by any means, but i love this explanation.
The explanation in the movie What the bleep do we know really pissed me off becasue I felt it was misleading.
*I changed the description because I have better things to do than argue with someone over this. I found this explanation very usefull in many things that is why I posted it.*

That penny example was awesome
Tyson would say most people are stupid so I explain things incredibly simplistic. His horrible explanations are a result of the stupidity of the mass. Not his fault. Where's that check…..
everyone needs to stop watching terrible youtube videos on quantum physics and then googling the history of quantum physics believing this is going to aid in their argument that "all scientists agree that this is bullshit". i'm pretty sure people who have been suckered in to the idea that we are all participating in some sort of hologram that is existence are pretty salty about this explanation.
I simply think Tyson is just dodging this guy who seems to have no hope comprehending the real explanation of it.
How in the hell can you use psychedelics, smoke and eat weed, quote McKenna and Sheldrake and be such a closed minded materialist? This is why I don't listen to Joe Rogan any more. He's a walking contradiction.
This is "nice." So, how does this even approach an explanation of the single particle double slit experiment? Tyson is completely over-rated. Nice job on the position-momentum uncertainty idea (not)…but how does that explain the energy-time uncertainty relation?
NDT is full of shit! https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/04/quantum-entangled-drumheads-show-spooky-action-on-the-macro-scale/
Please look for Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser Experiment before coming in this conclusion. I am really confused by what this guy said.
wow Mr. Tyson, scientists have been arguing over this effect for a century now and you explain it like it is as easy as 123 to understand. Either you are a genius or don’t truly understand it, I suspect the later.
He has not a clue of what he's even speaking about I guess he didn't want to say that's not my field of expertise
Neil deGrasse Tyson> Youtube commenters
Sorry Niel. You omitted some essential information – you can do better..
This is a shockingly deficient explanation of the double slit observer effect. Detectors when either turned off or turned on do NOT affect the observed photon or electron or atom that is emitted in the DS experiment ! Instead, Tyson is describing the effect of photons knocking around subatomic particles which is NOT the quantum observer effect. Sheeeeesh.
i just dont buy that
Wrong
I used to be a follower of this Neil guy but after hearing this bullshit exllplanation, well, I now see why there were a lot of people who aren't fascinated about science.
Lol nice try
I have an idea which seems to resolve some of the issues involved with wave particle duality, particularly as seen in the double slit experiment. It seems to be a completely new way of looking at the phenomenon, possibly all phenomenon, and hints at even more significant possibilities.
A Masters level Engineer and university calculus instructor was pretty interested in it, as was someone with a Masters level mathematics degree/philosophy minor. Nobody can really see anything wrong with it, but we aren't proper physicists either. In light of the significance of such an assertion, it could be worth looking into.
I cannot seem to link in comments but you can search YouTube for:

Look for someone sitting on a chair. That's me.
Please shred the idea to pieces so I don't have to think about it anymore. Or don't and get it off my shoulders that way…
The device used to take information of the particles path was taken into consideration too. So it was decided to leave the device on and not take the information leaving that same weird effect.
I think the observer affect is indeed misrepresented, people say the act of looking affects the atom, that someone looking from across the room collapses the wave to a particle but that’s not what’s happening, the ‘observer’ or ‘watcher’ is more the interferer, in order to observe scientists are bombing the fuck out of this atom with boulders of light photons, is it that surprising it changes the nature of it? remember there are more atoms in a grain of sand than there are grains of sand in the whole world, that’s how small an atom is, shining light photons on something that small is bound to interfere with the experiment. So, in summary, if you interfere and trample all over something it may well change, not very magical, it would be nice to believe in the magic, I’d like to as well, but this double slit experiment just doesn’t show any magic
Excellent explanation
Not correct, seek out the delayed choice double slit experiment
telling people they have a disease because they simply dont agree with you is idiotic +lenkoxxx and on top of that, the radio host calling us ''hippies'' for not agreeing is again, idiotic. Even the majority of people who study this dont agree with tyson in your own logic, you must be the one suffering to create bullshit just because you have a strong belief against this phenomenon. anyone who is up to date would already know that before they made tools specifically for this experiment. they used to factor in the tools interference mathematically which by the way, was only a small correction that wasnt even drastic in the first place. Go look at the delayed choice experiment before you call us names.
It has been proved hundreds of times that the particle detector does NOT affect or alter the path of the electron or photon. It is observation and only conscious observation that affects its pattern on the screen.

I am surprised my dear Tyson doesn't understand QM at all. Not 2 slit exp, not the experimental work of Alan Aspekt, Bell theorem, Eraser , Deleted Choice. etc. I am not sure how many physicists would agree with this obsolete explanation.
This is wrong as compared to the majority consensus of physicists on this subject
The observer effect is not the uncertainty principle… 1st one is a physical or in some cases a psychological force altering the observed 'thing' and the 2nd one is just that some things are just random (mainly pertaining to quantum physics).
What a bullshit explanation.
That was a bullshit explanation, he's out of his depth, he should stick to astrophysics.
Does not the delay choice experiment prove NDTyson wrong?
So stupid analogy, nothing has to do with double slit experiment… He doesn't explains how it was measured…
The experiment was performed with Light (photons), no atoms are involved on the double slit experiment…
The double slit experiment, was measured by a screen…
I know consciousnesses nothing to do with it, but this is not a correct explanation, he doesn't even mentions how the experiment was performed..
This is a very good explanation
Why would one listen to a Museum Curator for an answer on this, especially when so many physicists that actually study this disagree. Is there a unit known as "Tyson Time"? NO? Cause Max Plank says it is consciousness. Anton Zeilinger, Australian National University, Bohr, Bell, Susskind, Freidman….the list is endless…all disagree with this assessment. In fact, can you show me ONE physicist, who has actually worked experimentally with the pertinent quantum mechanics, that would say they agree with this buffoon? Many of them may opt for an explanation outside of consciousness, but ALL agree they have successfully ruled out physical interference from the act of measurement.

THEIR IS NO GOD AND ALL IS NOTHING MEANINGLESS NOTHINGNESS. IT STUPID CHASING AFTER THE WIND OR (WAVES) THEIRS NOTHING THERE . EVERYTHING IS-NOTHING AND WE ARE WASTING TIME LEARNING ABOUT NOTHINGNESS .and even dumber thing thinking it something. A CHASING AFTER THE WIND/WAVE/NOTHING. NOTHING COMES FROM SOMETHING(GOD)> SOMETHING(EVERYTHING) CANT COME FROM NOTHING.(000000000000000)
GOD IS LIGHT (PARTICLE) = REAL
DARKNESS IS NOTHING (WAVES)=NOTHING
LOOKING FOR ANSWER IN DARKNESS WITH NO LIGHT = STUPID
CHASING AFTER THE WIND = CHILDISH
