Double Slit mindfack

Just wow

yay i can say this

but im not a scientist so IDK

IT'S ALIVE!!!

school stuff,
and

Won't lie, read the title too fast and honestly thought I was going to see girl-girl pron.

What's the mindfack?

[CeLL]

... mostly that matter acts like energy. but also that it changes its course of action when observed.

[_Equal_]

So, quantum physics...same stuff as when I went to college, or is that new?

[Nick Invaders]

At the quantum level, simply observing or measuring a particle changes the way the particle behaves. Like if you try to measure a single photon of light, the photon will destroy itself and emit energy.

nothing new here, go to school kiddo and learn this shizzle

[Azilius]

Learned this in grade 12 physics

no mind **** for the educated!

I learned it grade 11. Suck it.

[Nick Invaders]

I haven't taken physics class yet. What now?

I might have too >_> I really don't remember

It can still be amazing whether you learned it when you were 3 years old or have never seen it before. What is this a dick-measuring contest?

What's the mindfack?

That a particle acts as a particle and a wave at the same time and is essentially spread across it's wave function (which is actually itself) until observation. The real mindfuck here is, "what is considered 'observation'?

i dont really get how this can be confusing...

fixed. but same thing in sorts

Particle and wave at the same time. AKA, spread out and at a single point all at the same time.

No, it's called 'wave-particle duality' for a reason.

If you wanted to fix my paragraph you should have said 'matter' acts as a particle and a wave. Or more correctly, takes on the properties of a wave and particle simultaneously.

I just love how it changes just by being observed. I've learned this as well but it still amazes me. I enjoy quantum physics, it really baffles people, and is s very interesting topic to discuss.

Also, can anyone yet explain how and why it changes itself being observed. Your really observing it when you your watching, but somehow it knows when you are watching close!?

I think matter 'knows' through the interaction of other matter with it. Conscious and unconscious observation causes the wave function to collapse to 1. But, to me, doesn't that mean that all wavefunctions are collapsed to 1, meaning, only under strict laboratory experiments would a particle not have any prior interactions and exist as a wave function.

(I want to take a university level course on this, would be extremely interesting. This and relativity.)

All possible outcomes of all reality and everything that exists exist. all you have to do is choose.
