Can simply looking at something actually change the way it behaves? In the quantum world, the answer is a shocking yes. The quantum observer effect reveals that particles behave differently when they are being watched versus when they are not — a finding that challenges everything we know about reality.
In this video, we explain the three fundamental pillars of quantum mechanics — quantized properties, the particle nature of light, and the wave nature of matter — and show how they lead to one of the strangest phenomena in physics: the observer effect. We walk through the famous double-slit experiment to demonstrate how electrons switch from wave-like to particle-like behavior the moment they are observed.

So… the eletrons can perveive… eyes..objects.. that direct its attention.. correct ?
its because the electron divides into 2 and collides with itself when someone isn't observing, so it probably isn't wave-particle duality that is happening here, and the electron is a fundamental particle so there shouldn't be anything inside it making it divide, quantum physics really is weird.
The claim that consciousness collapses the wave function is not only scientifically flawed but logically self defeating. If we assume reality requires a conscious observer to exist then who was the one to see the universe when no organism existed? And if you are going to say that consciousness existed all time then answer one of my question and its that if the universe was being observed then how do you know observer effect exists? Becouse that will collapse wave function completely.
YOU DO NOT CREATE REALITY!
So if tree falls in the woods and no one's around doesn't make a sound , this says , no , it won't make a sound
How do they know it behaved differently if they weren’t looking at it?
If this was called metaphysics it would be way less confusing
A question. The idea has been floated that consciousness is a quantum effect created within the brain. If true, what could it mean for one quantum effect causing another?
When photones in the light waves hit eyes, it generates impulses which are interpreted as particles by our brain . But why the screen produce particle effect whén detector is used, as if, the screen has interpretation ability to interpret wave as particles?
Is it possible for photons to act like dominoes, leading all the way back, turning them into a wave, because I believe the two slit has a lot to do with the way they smash into each other after they hit the two slit, creating that eye of Horus effect, light scatter on the wall, if you use backwards propagation with an .a.i. I am sure you could work out that the kinetic effect creates the multiple slit pattern on the wall, maybe the measurement itself creates the wave function, talk about fragile.
A sphere only has two sides when someone looks at it. If you use your hands and close your eyes you feel only one.
Why is this so convoluted. I thought 'observing' in physics is not about the human eyeball, but a measuring device, an interference.. but here we are talking about human eyeballs LOOKING and calling that the observer.
"You see what you believe"
-me
What if I put a fake camera in there
what if a blind person looks at it
The original intent by the observer can influence how the waves and particles behave, intent is the energy put forth by the observer that bends reality. The observing can be dialed up or down as depicted in this video to influence the behavior of particles or waves. At some point, the observer and what is observed become undifferentiated, that is a state of oneness, and all there is then is the quantum field in its primal state.
No
The thumbnail is chef’s kiss 😂😂
Not because of observation, yet because of the presence of others electronic presence thus causing attraction and disturbance to a flow of power that was established yet on longer because of another presence, not observation!
Broglie,schrodinger
@LM-gp2zb I will i believe that. There's no visible proof and any experimented available online showing that light behaving like particle when measured by a measuring device. Everyone just say it happens, without any actual footage showing that.
My car doesn't start when people around are watching it, now I realize it is an observer effect.
HAVE A GREAT DAY.
BE GOOD OR BE GOOD AT IT!!!
Andrew Michael Hasbrouck
You wanted some philosophy existing within the contradictions of rationality and irrationality…that's the contrast in between…that where the light is.
He's only a CONTRADICTION
Might be a d in dog but the devil ain't no dog…
Like the devil lived
I THINK BEING GOOD OR BEING GOOD AT IT IS WAY BETTER THAN EVIL
You try to be good at it and aren't you go too jail
BE GOOD OR BE GOOD AT IT!!!
And if you were out being good at it you would have good connections
So being good means you have bad connections
Maybe evil just don't have bad connections
We are talking letters
Long story short soon there will need too be notice of any kind for any body or grouping of bodies investigate other ppl for this reason, as humans get more powerful they become more sensitive and probably our collective interest is in individuals not several imprints of others routinely layering over their personality as is what the observing affect causes.
It's crazy also I think it's probably very significant the effect of what stars are shinning over head maybe that is why in my opinion the desire for infastructures as you head south doesn't necessarily slip but takes a different shape the common thing though is that humans can shift or adjust or adapt too thrive or survive even if you don't want too in many cases.
I don't get it
How can something change just because u look at it?? 🤔
D0 brouglie, and schrodinger
I don’t understand observation? That is, aren’t you observing the actions of the waves and particles at all times. How else would you know that they change under observation? It seems you are always observing? Isn’t this how you observed the differences by making observations before and after… can you clarify this?
why do we ever see an interference pattern? wouldn't observing force the wave to collapse?
When you look at something, which other things in nature would notice? Maybe test this with birds while looking at food and water? How sensitive are animals and how far is their communicative reach? Which effects can they, or thus, you change, when a person turns their head? Ask the right questions…
Is there documentation in video of somebody performing the actual double slit experiment without a detector first and then with a detector
The idea that consciousness impacts physical reality is why this concept is often linked to spirituality—it suggests that the mind or consciousness is not separate from the material world and that our awareness can influence the flow of events.
What about how the visual cortex of the brain interprets waves and or straight lines or anything else for that matter ie color.
How to overcome convert hypnosis.
Use NLP filtering.
Same idea as a tree making a sound when it falls if no one is around to hear it
