The OBSERVER EFFECT of QUANTUM PHYSICS says: "Your THOUGHTS affect REALITY" 

Goddamnit I love how easy this was to grasp in comparison to _any_ other video on the internet.

If I was going to code a universe. This would be a very good way of reducing processing requirements.

This video is underrated

I wonder what the universe is doing when I am not watching

This is what my chemistry teacher showed us to explain wave particle duality and an introduction to quantum mechanics. It's really cool because he explained it by talking about how it goes against everything we know about physics and how it makes absolutely no sense and how nobody really gets it

I’ve been showing this video to my students for years. How does this video not have millions of views?? Nice work! Keep it up!

The universe is screwing with us.

Electrons suspended in space time act like a wave, existing as infinite possibilities and potentialities, up until the point when someone with sentience forces it to decide and conform from a wave of potentials to physical particle matter. Which makes sense. Energy has the potential to be anything or take any form as long as it is suspended in space time itself. But once we impose Reality (our reality) upon it, it can not longer exist in potentiality, so that potential becomes a decided particle. We make our realities.

Well, I was planning on sleeping

If I'm remembering correctly, the issue with observation (measurement) at this scale is that its an _active_ process, not a passive one. And so when you try to measure an electron, you end up interacting with it, thus changing the outcome of the experiment.

You know this might partially explain why people behave different when they are being watched, vs being “alone”

Thanks, I'll never sleep again

Such a great video! I didn't need to take notes in order to comprehend what it's trying to say. Very excellent! And it isn't boring.

The world was not ready for this video , top level animation and great explanation at that time, pure gold

Very fascinating. I wonder at what distance the observer has to be from the slits for the electrons to return to their 'unobserved behavior'. It also makes me wonder what other things in the universe behave this way, and how much it influences our understanding of anything. Why should this (or similar) behavior be limited just to electrons? Does everything that we view as inanimate actually have some level of awareness, or ability to respond to certain stimuli?

This is what my grandma meant when she said my toys float and do stuff when I'm sleeping.

This kind of animation is adorable and I love every microsecond of it.

Finally, after a few years. I get it. This is the only video that brings Quantum and Classical together

This is undoubtedly the best explanation video on this topic

This is the best explanation ive heard, is there any more clips or full video of this?

notice how in video games the only thing that loads is what you can interact with and if you modify it to show everything, you'll see render errors? this is proof that it happens in real life too and that real life is a video game.

It’s not that the particle is aware it’s being watched. It’s that our awareness bends reality.

In India , in our ancient scriptures, this phenomenon goes like : yatha drishti tatha srishti . Which means that world is the reflection of your vision.

I was trying to understand this double slit experiment for 2 days but finally what happened in the experiment is crystal clear ........after watching this.....this video is so underrated man 😷

This means being a conscious observer effects the universe. I dont know how to feel about this.

The universe keeps its secrets. Clearly, there should be multiple answers that are all true at once but our physical world is limited to just one. We should be here and there and everywhere and nowhere all at once but instead we are locked into only one answer.

With any instrument that can observe or measure something it has to emit particles or waves and observe how they bounce back. Like a sonar. Isn't it possible that the instruments are somehow interfering with the particles? I'm sure there is an explanation for this, but I find it strange that this possibility isn't mentioned.

Could it be the observing device is interfering with the way the electron is behaving?

Is this why we can “feel” people looking at us even though we can’t see them?

?!? This is insane. So the electrons change patterns only when the observation was recorded or something!?! So did it stay as a wave pattern right up to the point that they pressed the record button or what? Need more detail on the method of observation? How was it actually measured which slit the electron went through anyway.

Possible explanation (b), we are not measuring objective reality (if such a thing even exists) with this experiment, rather we are somehow measuring our own perception/cognition as projected onto the experiment.

I found a solution to the problem of the observer effect in quantum physics I propose that those who want to install the observation mechanics be a completely separate team and that those who want to shoot the electrons in the two bars to which they will pass be a completely separate team that those who are going to keep the electrons be a team squarely apart also and that the team which is going to crown this whole system is also squarely apart now the team which is going to crown the system which is going to direct the system he tells each one his role. no one is aware of the other person's role so they will say - you keep the electrons you come you place that in the propulsion mechanism and you go away - you arrived there you will draw the electrons -the observation mechanism you will place the camera on such side of the plate which guards the two holes in which the electrons will pass you will place the camera at such level so that no one realizes what is happening pass but everyone has in mind the role they have to do if the electrons are aware that they are observed there they will no longer be aware that they are observed because the system which will take care of the observation will be a camouflaged system so only those who put them know where they are posed and what are going to shoot also do not realize that there is the hidden camera those who will be in charge of directing and the project will not be present either so only the one who will shoot will be present the camera is already on everything and everything so he comes he puts the electrons are already there he just comes to shoot the electron is not aware that the camera is there the person who shot it is not aware that the camera is there none of that so by the way there is not a thought wave that would be in the area and who will perhaps influence the electron because this person who wants to shoot is not aware that there is a camera and that the electron also was not there when the camera was placed everything will happen normally they will shoot I believe that the electron will be observed when it is forming waves

I never wanted this to end

All is mental, all is mind.

People are saying that the act of measuring a sub atomic particle will affect its behavior, which I agree with. But how can a measurement make a photon act like a particle instead of a wave ? Its like saying if I measure water it will become a solid.

The singularity had nothing to do with matter. The singularity was the energy of consciousness becomings aware. We are alive within a dispersed field of consciousness and matter is only an illusion.

At what resolution of a camera would the wave function colapse?

The concept of such a theory became apparent to me by means of computer games and the theory i put to practice when approaching stop signs and intersections; initially there is no traffic in sight due to loading time, seconds after traffic appears, I refer to this as traffic lag. Whenever approaching an intersection I just accelerate to beat the traffic lag, please take note this hack will work until the next universe processor upgrade so make the most of it while you can.

It is amazing. If you yawn while looking inside a sealed bus with a dozen or so people encapsulated inside, unaware consciously of your presence or the fact that you are observing, roughly half of them will yawn, even if you yawned first and/or didn’t see someone yawn first. The person in the front didn’t see those behind them yawn either. Everything and everyone, matter and energy, has an unconscious collective consciousness, like the twisted pair. Same with the intuition of being watched or intuition in general. We are all part of the same oneness or whole or Spirit of God. Though removed from it, at least somewhere, time/space/spirit/consciousness are a singularity. At that point everything is omniscient and omnipresent. There/then everything is all the same thing, like the Trinity/Triune God, where we simultaneously exist as both ourselves spiritually and yet still everything, at least I think so. That’s one reason to do what you know what’s right, because everyone and everything, even your grandma, knows everything that you do that is right or wrong, including you, hence your conscience, which is what I believe is your one peek into the truth of what the greater Holy Spirit/God thinks. That’s why it’s important to always be truthful with regard to objective reality and faithful to one’s conscience. Realize that you too are being observed. At least in Heaven, everyone who hasn’t been cast into the lake of fire will know what the rest of us already do, that almost nobody voted for Joe Biden.

Very good video. Very well explained

good video that condenses this paradox and makes it way more understandable

This was a great watch. I have been researching this concept/theory for weeks each video was good however this just helped me grasp it much better!

Will it still act like a particle if the observing machine is turned off, but remains in the same position?

What is the animation from? Is it a kids show i want to see more

Had this idea when learned that the human body in fact emits the visible light (albeit non detectable to our eyes), if a camera sensitive enough to detect it was set in a total darkness, and then the image recorded projected on a monitor/VR headset (backt to the person redorded, in a real time) - ta-da!, the observer and the observed are one, literally.

Reffered by Shanu Arora (physics teacher, India) What an amazing video it was.... Absolutely fantastic 😍

what if someone is watching only the ending where its a wave and someone else is watching only the beginning where it's a particle? would they see two different realities

Do this experiment with marble while not observing it. Electron have properties like charge ,force of attraction etc which marble do not have and observation device may effect those properties

It's not the act of conciously observing that causes this. It's the interaction on a quantum scale of the devices or rather the particles used to detect the electron that cause it to change. Light included. It's the physical changes we inadvertently make while attempting to measure something. If you put a thermometer in some sort of matter, water works well, you change the temperature of the water just by making contact between the thermometer and the water. If you have a thimble full of hot water in a room cooler than the water and quickly use several thermometers, each one cooler than the water being tested, you will notice the water will get cooler with each attempt to measure it's temperature. And it will do it faster than if you had placed a single thermometer in the water and left it there for the water to be measured over the same amount of time. There are countless ways an observer can inadvertently make changes to what they are observing based on what devices they are using to observe. Minimizing this effect will produce purer outcomes. And lastly there are ways to invoke the observer effect without physical interactions when it comes to psychological experiments amd even animal behavior. Those are cases that would resemble what's being told in this video. The subject being aware of the observation will most certainly skew the results. But an electron cannot be aware of the observer.

I am currently at 1:13, and have to say this is the best and most simplisticly and easily explained video on this topic. I dont know why so many teachers of physics in the world, either half understand it themselves and thus teach it wrongly too then, or dont know how to teach at all. Ps: Currently at 3:57, and not the best and most easy 'and thus'///ie ideal explaination on this topic, one professor explained it very nicely in a video, but still a better video than 90% of the stuff explaining physics who are many a times wrongly explaining it (or else very badly explaining it), nonetheless.

In physics, the observer effect is the disturbance of an observed system by the act of observation. This is often the result of instruments that, by necessity, alter the state of what they measure in some manner

This was such a great video, it shows how little we understand about our universe. Are particles conscious? What is consciousness? We think we know so much about the universe but we know so little. We have no explanation to what consciousness is

Thank you so much! I actually understood this experiment only after watching your video!

I got goosebumps , perfectly illustrated, tx

I suspect the people ridiculing other comments took one course on this subject and think they're experts. I imagine genuine physicists wouldn't be so dismissive and condescending. When you're an expert in any field it actually makes you realize you have so much more to learn rather than thinking you know it all.

This is the best video I’ve found explaining the two slit experiment and why it is so baffling. It’s got to be consciousness, that’s what’s being left out in the theory of everything.

Oh my God! Why I don't find this video earlier? This is epic!

I think if that experiment would be replaced with a canon sand( not laser canon) would happen the same thing. It means : the experiment doesn't show anything because sand is particle, that( same thing ) would happen with all things as : water, sugar grain,salt grain, sand grain etc...( the photon doesn t interfere with itself but crashes with border of slit part (ricocheted the lips/borders of the slit )

Wait what if observation not by seeing but by interacting wouldn't an interaction like hitting the wall force it to act like a marble and wouldn't you seeing it force it to abide by laws of the universe and give up it's impossibilitys

You ever notice how just like Shiva Naci code recurs mathematically also does the ionic wave trajectory of this experiment and the Doppler effect? It only stands to reason if you could create a sonic boom you can create an ionic boom with singularity

Ok I get that the "Observer" device or the human eye changes the Super Position from multiple possibilities to 1 single possibility, but can anyone explain to me how this contention can be of any functional use.

isnt the air as thick as water at such tiny environments?

Aren't we already "observing" when we look at the capture screen. It is a detector and I am observing the "wave" behavior there. No wave function collapse is happening when we detect it with the screen.

Its like toy story movie, the toys alive when nobody watching 💀

Bro I'm an Advaita Vedanta student and this has just blown my mind. The sages have always been said the truth!!

is there anyway to request that they observe both slits???

man . this is amazing

Can someone please send me a video of this experiment being performed in real life showing the observer effect and the wave function collapses, if not, why does this not exist?

If you fire light through one slit it diffracts. Am i missing something? I tried it at home.

Wow I love how well this video broke it down. This was amazing. Thank you.

Observation effect: Have they used a living creature like a Quantum Robin wired with an electrograph to measure brainwave activity during the experiment? Did shielding or distance of observation equipment alter the results? It would be interesting to add these elements during observation

God? Is that you?

Agree with mossy1. Your "thoughts" have nothing to do with the observer effect, i.e. the sheer act of observing leads to physical interference with what is being studied. There is no "mind of matter" nonsense going on here.

I wonder if observing the matter going through on mushrooms would change the outcome and you would be able to observe the matter going through in wave form.

Could the measuring device have changed its properties or something?

What if we put 2 observers, one on both sides?

Great video, thanks.

We are in a simulation confirmed

I've always been interested in theoretical physics, and thinking about this experiment again seems to correlate with Bell's theorem and non local variables. And so that "conscious" observation is perhaps a false-self perception of energy absorption, that does not somehow alter via projection, and which reminds us that there will always be a human unknowable; IMO that which is a universal mind-soul or "god." Which is a good thing!

what did they use to observe the particles?

Does it mean that because I'm not observing the sun right now, then it doesn't exist? Can someone explain what the last 10 seconds of the video means?

It’s the “what the bleep” poster on the wall in the background for me! 🤣🤩

This is just like almost any video game you play when you're not looking at something, it's not there until you look at it. It's a tactic the devs use to reduce lag

Perhaps this suggests that our thoughts directly affect matter. Is it too far a stretch to suggest that conscious thought is a fundamental force of nature?

Is randonautica app work.. On quantum kind of thing?

I want to change the experiment a little, instead of a background we use a metal plate that heats up quickly, on the back of that plate will be that melts easily. Idea being that you observe the wax and not the photons. If only there are only 2 slits of light it will not melt the way, if there are more it will...

I have made some important discoveries in double slit interference and hope to discuss them together

You cannot observe without interracting with the particles. Therefore observation might be the interraction that coused the electrons to act like particles.

Why is it always the wave/particle that's changing upon observation? What if it has more to do with the observer that the observed? If the electron is BOTH perhaps it's the eye that chooses one or the other-the human eye cannot see both at the same so it must pick one. For the electron it's both/and. For the eye it's either/or.

or what if certain properties of the camera (observer) is disturbing the natural flow of the electrons going thru the slits

How do we "observe" which slit it passed through? We can't see electrons by naked eye. Is it by shining a light to the slit? Aren't we interfering the experiment with that?

Are the smallest particles conscious?

Dear people of RU-vid…. Please share this video everywhere. I heard it’s an underrated video. Don’t forget… making a highlights video might get you views as well as the original. You do make reality what you want it to be. Hustle. Get out of Wage Slavery. Hire others. Retire. Live life.

can you please turn off the observer every other pass through and see what happens, or move the observer to a further location

Wow, you explained it fast and in a way that most can understand it.

Reality as we know it, is only as we know it, because we are here to know it.

What’s the full movie ?

Some things are just better left unknown and undiscovered. Not only for our mental well-being, but for our sanity.

I googled observation perception experiment and found this.Im interested in studying how people perceive objects they have observed and their ability to describe what they have seen in detail after various amounts of time.

So how do we manifest
