When they say observation makes light behave as a particle, what

They mean interaction. When you're dealing with particles, you can't just "look" at what they're doing, because they're too small to see. Instead, you have to fire other particles at them and see which way they bounce off, then infer from that what the original particle was doing. Naturally, firing a particle at another particle will change both of them.

To understand this, you need to understand the fundamental philosophical problem of modern quantum physics, the measurement problem.

For the layman, the best source that explains the problem, and the plausible mainstream resolutions, is the following video. It's pretty long, but also very informative.

Are you literally retarded?

He's a tripfag.

C*nsciounsness, an """extra-physical""" phenomenon, interacts with light and makes it do weird ebin shit.
Despite having factual evidence that it happens, it's best to close your eyes and pretend it doesn't happen.
For a crash course on mental gymnastics on how to do that, refer to the tripfriend above, though I personally prefer the "clap your ears scream LALALALLALALALA method"

There's nothing non-physical about consciousness, and consciousness has nothing at all to do with the phenomena OP is asking about. You can put a non-conscious camera in the place of the "observer" and get the same exact result.

Exactly.

The concept of "seeing" depends on photons (particles) hitting our eyes (or the photosensitive sensor of a camera).

Now when you're observing a baseball, that is possible because it reflects light particles into your eyes.

That's why you cannot observe light "particles" as they are the medium itself - (the medium that transmits visual information).

... as soon as a conscious entity looks at the pictures. There is no "result" until then.

>what do they mean by observation?
An interpretation of reality by a conscious entity.

Basically this. It's like trying to find the size and location of a ping pong ball by throwing bowling balls at it.
