Observing Quantum Reality: #neildegrassetyson on the Observer Effect



SccS

In quantum physics, the observation of a system can have an effect on the system being observed. This is known as the observer effect or the measurement problem.

According to the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, when a quantum system is observed, its state is “collapsed” into a definite state. Prior to observation, the system exists in a state of superposition, meaning it can exist in multiple states simultaneously. However, the act of measurement forces the system to choose a single state.

This effect is seen in experiments such as the double-slit experiment, where particles exhibit wave-like behavior until they are observed, at which point they behave like particles.

The exact mechanism behind the observer effect is still a topic of debate and research in the field of quantum mechanics. Some interpretations suggest that the observer effect is a fundamental feature of reality, while others propose alternative explanations.

Despite the ongoing debate, the observer effect remains an important aspect of quantum mechanics, with implications for the interpretation of quantum phenomena and the development of quantum technologies.

  1. What there not telling you its just a quantum teleportation device , and photons carry information, so it not 2 photons entangled, if they are the same photon without the restrictions of time and space , so thats why it looks like there moving in the same direction and speed, but actually its just one of the same photon. Its like looking at yourself in a mirror but trying to be faster than your reflection 😂, we just havint found away to use quantum communications yet or quantum teleportation yet. Its like giving a cell phone to a caveman. PHOTONS carry information, when a photon hits your eye it also scans the face for information, the same with atoms are incoded with information , like my chair or table being made of atoms. So if i have the code information for my chair or table and atoms can travel at light speed. I must be able to send that coded atom anywhere in the universe to replicate, and the same with photon code information. But i am still a mear caveman ,with no photon or atom sender or receiver, just my mear sticks and fire gazing at the night sky.

  2. Observer and Contact: A Unified Relational Event

    This intersection of early Buddhist psychology and modern quantum theory. It draws on the teaching that contact (phassa) is a conascent, nutritional process, and examines the implications of this for understanding the observer in both traditions. The act of observing is shown to be relational, mutual, and recursive.

    1. Observation Requires Energy
    • Observation is not passive; it requires attention and intention (cetanā).
    • In Buddhism, this directed attention is manasikāra—an active engagement.
    • In quantum mechanics, observation also affects and collapses the system, implying relational involvement.

    2. Contact Is Not One-Way
    • Contact (phassa) is conascent—sense object, sense organ, and consciousness arise together.
    • Contact is nutritional: the observer feeds on the object, and the object (or beings within it) feeds on the observer.
    • This mirrors quantum implications that observer and observed co-arise in a shared system of change.

    3. Mirror Metaphor – Infinite Recursion
    • Observation is like entering a house of mirrors.
    • When one mirror is focused upon, infinite others are activated, each reflecting and observing back.
    • Each act of attention opens a wider field of consciousness, revealing an interconnected web rather than isolated awareness.

    4. Philosophical Implication
    • There is no observer without contact, and no object without observation.
    • Observation is not a private act; it is participatory and reciprocal.
    • This dissolves the notion of a separate, isolated self or world—only conditional, relational becoming.

    5. Logical Conclusion
    • Attention generates experiential reality, but only as a relational event.
    • To perceive is to open oneself to reciprocal perception.
    • This truth is structural to consciousness itself, not metaphorical or poetic.

    Slogan Summary
    "To observe is to feed and be fed upon. The eye that sees awakens the eye that watches back."

  3. Think of our kids. Or us when we were kids. If our parents were too busy to not pay attention to us, we were more than likely getting into trouble. But had our parents just observed us a little better, we probably wouldn’t have acted out, but instead would have acted accordingly.

    Think about playing hide and seek. You’re hiding, and the observer is trying to find you. You hide under the bed, you see them come in, but before they look under the bed you quickly make an escape. That observer was probably thinking “now I know damn well I saw their shoe.” Now they are questioning whether their eyes were just playing tricks on them.

    Or, think of playing gta online. There are millions of players but once we log in, a handful of us are loaded into the same server. We may own the same apartment though. So instead of all of us players loading into the same house, that server breaks up the coding in order to place us in our home without seeing the other players. Though at times, you see random bombs going off or hear them but they may not always be directed at you, but towards the other player that’s also in your exact vicinity. 5th dimensional.

  4. if you make these entangled pairs and then seperate them and claim one now influences the other, how do you know theyre the entangled particles unless you never stopped observing?
    if you stop observing the seperation, you cant be sure youre measuring the same particles because fundamental particles are indistinguishable from one another.

  5. One can tell he doesn't really care what hes really about by so long as it sounds novel and deep. As soon as someone starts asking him what he actually means he gets the serious face even.

  6. Isn't this essentially transposing a matrix? If people are complaining that the scale of the universe is so large that transposing could break the speed of light then is there mathematical limit speed of transposing a matrix?

  7. Neil is an astrophysicist and not a particle physicist and it's quite clear here. The threshold to affect a particle is much lower than observation. Simply being able to infer its location through checking something else other than the paeticle, or looking at something after the event can cause a particle to change its behaviour in the past

  8. So how can this action perform in the same light with/without the observer? Your making it sound likeits with/without light. Turning your head or watching a video does not interfere yet the same “spooky” results?

  9. Wtf is he talking about. Measuring it? . Quantum people sounds so smart until they want me to prove my equations to them using a foot and a pencil and a compass as if we are dealing with basic laws of motion. Its hilarious.😂😂
