Why do people give a shit about the double slit and its results? So what if measurement makes a difference?
How useful are these findings, when you can set up the same lab experiment except scale it to the size of tennis balls that are shoot at two slits. Do you actually tink you'll see a defraction pattern? How is this experiment used to suggest reality somehow isn't real or virtual or whatever? It's results only matter to atomist NEETs who don't care about anything larger than an electron, so why should we care about their localized experimental data?

Particle wave duality is the most fundamental property of Electromagnetic Radiation. Now go back to doing your homework little Johnny, I don't want to get a call from Mr. Peterson again regarding your grades.

people commonly reject things they are too stupid to understand. you seem to have done that.

I think it shows there is always subjectivity on the part of the observer. That we see what we choose to see.

Damn you really understand physics breh, quantum waves and electron density and all of that fundamental shit that is analogous to the particle wave behavior of photons doesn't exist at all breh even though the whole of chemistry is COMPLETELY based on that shit

you don't have cancer UNTIL a doctor measures you and detects it.
Why else do you think these diseases have skyrocketed in modern times? that's right, because we're now actively looking for them and once you look, you create

it's all determined by a draw of a probability distribution. so when you go and check it, you'll notice there's a history associated with your bank account and with your lifestyle. the chances of you finding millions of dollars in your bank account are very low but not impossible (causes could be due to an error in the system or something else) and yet you will most likely draw what is most probable from the distribution of choices available.

Yes you do you doofus, humans are not the only observers.

We're clearly above animals in any sort of faculty, see secondary theory of mind. Or do you think animals ponder about the vastness and beauty of the universe?

I had a double slit experience once. The results were epic but it did make single slit experiences a little less exciting after that.

"Observation" in physics, QM in particular, means particles interacting with other particles.
