    I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the video you created on quantum mechanics, which I came across about 10 years ago. It had a huge impact on me and left a impression that has remained with me ever since.
    At the time, I didn’t understand any physics or mathematics at all. I found the video challenging to comprehend fully. However, I kept returning to it, hoping to gain a better understanding. Watching your video sparked a desire within me to study physics, but unfortunately, I did not have the necessary qualifications in my country at that time.
    I became determined to study physics and decided to teach myself physics, which eventually led me to leave my job and obtain the right degrees to study physics formally. I am now in my final year of study and this video was a major source of inspiration for me.
    I wanted to express my appreciation for the work you have done and let you know that you have played a significant role in igniting my interest in physics. Your videos have been a constant source of motivation for me over the years, and I am grateful for the impact it has had on my life.
    Thank you.

      Music is sound waves. The waves did not pass through the two holes at the same time. That's because you did not observe them, and if you did not observe them, they never happened... however, if you did observe them, it was too late, because the cat ate your ears, and your ears started spinning in opposite directions, and since they did not spin in the same direction, you did not observe in which direction the spins were measured. The probability of the universe knowing whether ear A or ear B are located in swapped positions or in the same position measured earlier is unknown, and therefore the probability that you observed their relative location gave you the impression that you observed everything at the same time. Does that make sense?

      How do you know that? I bet that cat like all the non-human life see exactly what is happening and understands it. Humans don’t really know much of anything. They have a lot of guesses, guesses they call fancy names like Faiths, Theories, Laws. And most of what humans know seres no purpose at all except to serve the petty, infantile emotions of the humans. What told humans they had the right to do anything they do? And I also wonder why they put all their energy trying to figure out quantum mechanics which they have again only guesses since they are extremely limited in being able to perceive or comprehend what they perceive when they can’t even manage to be one species. The truth is that the cat doesn’t care truly. Only human arrogance thinks it’s base curiosity and discomfort at being ignorant is worth what it has cost the other life of this planet. Humans are sick animals. And they are not getting better, for the nature of this sickness doesn’t make anything better, only make it think it’s better. And it always destroys itself. Just as humans have already done and are just to sick and proud to see reality. They would rather see it through their beliefs, theories and laws and pretend that the distorted perception of reality is real and let’s not forget make it into a game of opposition they just call competition for what those sick with this disease always love. Gold and riches, power, sex and being beautiful forever, status and attention and the material possessions which come with it, food, drink and drugs, a life of easy comfort and entertainment. Which in other words is agreed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, and Sloth, and of course Wrath since they are fighting their own species for these things in a great game of destruction they are so Proud of as if any of them created or could change it that they just call human progress. Just like they call their Evil Good. That is the name of the sickness they have and they have had it for the entire time of heir edited version of human development. Children who decided to play a game of who can be the sickest with evil and convince the most people it is a good thing for the right to see more of the limited resources all humans are forced to work for the same fews profit to survive than one person needs or can use which they call success.
      Not my theory, not my belief, not my law just the uncensored obvious to anyone not sick with Evil so in absolute denial because evil need can see itself, it denies itself and denies it denied. Then it attacks anything that shows it the truth which is fine because I know what happens and ain’t scared at all. I am scared for the rest of my sick brothers and sisters but there comes a time when an animal is too sick to save. When the only way to show your love is to let it go. Cut your losses. You can’t do tell someone the truth if they don’t want to hear it. You can’t forgive someone who isn’t sorry and refuses to change. You can’t help someone who won’t help themselves, and why would you in the first place. It would only make them dependent on you and weaker. Jus like humans have become less not more because of their insistence their every little desire, their feelings are worth more than another life, including human life.
      Truth is never kind but it doesn’t need to be, it hurts to hear and also to say especially to someone you truly love who doesn’t want to hear it. You can tell yourself that you are being nice by not saying anything, this you are protecting them but we all know the only one who is being protected is you. This love but there are many kinds of love and that kind is not true, there is only one love that is true. Meaning it doesn’t destroy. And nothing humans love is true. Humans do not dictate the nature of reality with their words, and they do not assign meaning, value and purpose to all life, including their own. Bad answer peeps. Should have done your own work instead of copying from the sickest of your species. again. Yes again. It’s called the Gargamel. And you have no more chances. It’s over. No wonder they are all so desperate now to get that success. That America dream. The land of the privileges and spoiled. Freedom is not just for a small group of humans, 8t is for all Life or it is not called freedom, that is called privilege, and if you are forced to work for the filthy money so you can buy the right to enjoy this privilege that is also called something p, and it’s not freedom. Slavery.
      The money and attention, the clicks they need to get enough followers, subscribers to catch the corporations and institutions attention. All for the filthy Dollar sign, the mark you all love so much that it’s mark is burned on your foreheads and stamped on your greedy grasping hands or might as well me since it’s all any of you want to touch and always on your minds.
      I don’t like it any better than any of you. It hurts me to have to say it just as much as it probably does to hear it but shit, someone has got to be honest. And that has never been the humans best kill, just like originality. I am ashamed and embarrassed to be associated with the sick animals who just call themselves human. And I can’t even pretend to believe in them like I have for my entire life because reality has shown me my belief, my guess, formed by my own perceptions and reason not copied from some bearded asshole, is not reality, I ain’t crazy sick with evil like all you demons called American who think their beliefs, just like their words create reality.
      There is only one law and it is perfect. It is flawless in its judgements and is automatic without malice or mercy. Or jus for your information the mean bearded face of an upgrade of Santa Claus. Children truly. Acting like they are retarded and with all the practice they have had at it you would think they would be better at it. They aren’t even buying tickets to that act. Nope not even comp’d thanks.

      @@joshuajosephson7358 humans are animals foremost...so instead of taking a Medieval look at humanity might you seek an enlightened one despite Humanities skewed record...outside of that you aren't speaking rationally at all. You denounce Humanities Laws and then turn around and state there is a perfect law and then share none of that "so called perfect law" with us. Holding something over our heads are ya...well, no one will call THAT nice. It's spiteful. You aren't shouting you are raving. You aren't talking or opening up discussion you accuse but you aren't any Jesus. More like the EVIL person calling other people Evil all the while doing Evil deeds and Evil sacrifices. But your kind is never the kind to sacrifice. Oh you'll have plenty of reasons to argue otherwise but in the end you don't understand what REAL sacrifice is. It isn't sacrifice if you are forced to give. And spite isn't clarity it's anger. Not our fault you feel cheated. In fact you break the laws you say you uphold just by very your very rude behavior. The saddest part of your position is the complete denial in a very over dramatic and extremely heated tone that Humanity is clearly not capable of understanding "perfection" as you view it nor of beauty. Since The Inquisition Ended there have been folks like yerself...telling us "peasants" we just don't understand. Grinding over us with their rhetoric, cut downs and swords. And yet every true scientist is in awe of the actual thing you state is Evil...the fact that no matter how they try to describe "it" the description becomes intangible and yet more beautiful. But where you really step out of line is your placement of "The Law." First how could you even conceive of "Law" unless you as a child were taught in a humanitarian form of what the concept of "Law" is - that means from day one your "ideal" has been swayed by your own lack of ability to perceive "Law" outside of Humanity - gasp!! HUMAN just like the rest of us...!! and that must burn your biscuits...cause here you are telling us or rather inferring how much better you are because you UNDERSTAND above and beyond us mere grunts and yet by your own conditions like us you are unable to "perceive" "law" in anything other way than by being Human. No matter how you slice it, dice it, rationalize it...that is unless you've been hiding the fact that you're what...an Alien? Said not even you!!!! perhaps you don't believe your own rhetoric, maybe yer just a small little troll either way...THAT NULLIFIES your argument. (or in this case like Quantum Mechanics states if you don't look nothing manifests...just the probability of yer brains making an appearance, eh?!!) Even if you were given a "vision of God" you'd still be human...you'd still be flawed and just like the rest of us apes you'd still see YOUR vision of God from a Human position. No matter how you try to avoid it. Okay...so now your hopping mad at me...and we'll just say your "better" than the rest of us since you clearly elaborate as much...If your perception of "Law" is perfect then exactly how as an imperfect person who values something outside of humanity can YOU ever specifically understand it enough to share it...I mean aren't you doing the very same thing to "Law" as what you claim scientists, and humanity and demons and Americans are doing...saying you KNOW about it when you are just like us. Just merely human and therefore "incapable" of understanding it/anything. If you are a Jihadist you do realize that the Islamic Culture gave us Astronomy...if you are Christian you get that Jesus was an Enlightened Human...HUMAN get it? It has been my experience that when one (usually a dictator or an emperor and in this case YOU eyeroll!!!!) states there is only one "Law" they 1.) don't understand the meaning of law which is a human creation 2.) don't practice nor abide by laws 3.) in a bullying brutal manner apply an arbitrary model of the law according to their own opinions. 4.) makeup laws based on emotional and sometimes irrational feelings versus fairness and justice 5.) don't take counsel 6.) reduce laws and fundamentalize and radicalize laws thereby making them not only a mockery of true law but also making the law dangerous 7.) clearly have NO Concept of either The Theory of Relativity or Quantum Mechanics. In the end you are no bringer of light. You bring hate and discord and anger and venom but you find no beauty in God at an atomic level...you can't understand and see the grace of the miraculous infinity of the display of the very essence of life itself is not something scientist don't appreciate but rather something they are in awe and revel in...they revel in God...they delight in God - you just can't see it. And if a cat can get it...as you say...why then, why then, oh why can't you? Enough of The Dark Ages. If you want to scold get your own congregation. Your post is ranting and inappropriate and not suited for this forum. Now go all crazy on me...as Borderline Personalities are want to do...or see if you actually believe in that so called "Law" you toss around with such disrespect and try to live humbly by actually believing in your own beliefs...in Compassion and Forgiveness not Fire and Brimstone...live by acting in GRACE that there IS something bigger than you. Rather than shouting and disrespecting everyone who reads your missive...stop showing everyone on TH-cam where your defaults and shortcomings and hatred is.

      We only changing the appearance and ability of technology, we are not inventing and discovering any new things.

      And remember that first the spiritual knowledge was born then the science.

      @Lord Syphilis Shitsmear One solution would be to invent a new audio format in which a voice track is always forced to be separate from the rest of the audio. Then the web player would mix the two tracks in realtime to offer a stereo output (so you don't get voice in just one ear). Then you could have a headphone/speaker setting to adjust the voice a bit louder for headphone users. Maybe someone who hates this audio who can program can write a solution. That way everyone is happy.

    Here's the corrected transcript:
    Quantum Mechanics: Animation
    Mar 23, 2013 - Uploaded by Eugene Khutoryansky
    The foundation of quantum mechanics is explained by the following experiment. Suppose we have a wall with two holes Suppose we shoot marbles at it; one marvel at a time. Behind the wall, we have a cloth. Each time a marble hits the cloth, we mark where it landed. As marbles hit the cloth in the same spot more than once, we mark the red mark darker. Some marbles make it through the holes by bouncing off at an angle, but most marvels that make it through the holes continue in a straight line. After a while, there will be many red marks on the cloth; the darkest red marks will be directly behind the two holes. Now suppose the two holes are very narrow. Suppose the marble is very small. Now the result is very different. A striped pattern is produced. The marbles never hit the cloth in the areas between the stripes. All particles in the universe produced this striped pattern, provided that both they and the holes are small enough. No matter how many times we repeat this experiment and no matter what type of object we use to replace the marbles, the result is always the same. Only one known phenomenon can explain this result: Waves. When a wave passes through a hole, it spreads out on the other side. If there are two holes, two waves are produced. When you have two waves, they interact with one another. In some areas they strengthen each other and in other areas they cancel each other out. This creates a striped pattern. This is the exact same pattern that we saw before. This means that all objects really behave like waves, but if all objects behave like waves, then why don't we see a striped pattern for the large marbles? Large objects have much more energy than small objects. Waves have more energy by having a higher frequency. When waves with higher frequencies interact with one another, the pattern is different. Large objects have more energy, and they therefore behave like high-frequency waves. This is why large objects do not produce a striped pattern but small objects do. But, there's still a problem. For a wave to produce a striped pattern, each wave must simultaneously pass through both holes so that there will be two new waves that interact with one another. But, we're shooting the marvels at the wall only one marvel at a time. This means that each marble must somehow simultaneously pass through both holes in order to create the striped pattern. Let's see if this is what actually happens by blocking one of the holes. The striped pattern disappears. Most of the marks are now directly behind the one open hole. Now let's block the other hole instead. Again, the darkest lines are directly behind the one open hole, but if we unblock both holes, the striped pattern returns. Areas that were hit many times when one of the holes was blocked, are now never hit when both holes are open. This means that each marble really does have to simultaneously pass through both holes to produce a striped pattern. Let's test this by putting a detector in front of each hole. We should expect that both detectors will simultaneously indicate that the marble passes through it. However, this is not what happens. Each marble only passes through one detector or the other but never both. Also, once we place detectors in front of the holes, the striped pattern disappears. Now the darkest lines are directly behind the two holes; just as when we blocked one hole at a time. Let's try putting a detector in front of only one of the two holes. It turns out that having even just one detector has the same effect as having two detectors and causes the striped pattern to disappear. Any attempt to discover which of the two holes the marble passes through, forces the marble to pass through one hole or the other and not both. One detector has the same effect as two because once we know of the marble pass through one hole, then we also automatically know whether or not it passed through the other one. A marble goes through both holes only when we are not trying to find out which hole it went through, but when we do try to find out, the marble goes through only one hole or the other. So what if we place detectors in front of both holes and just close our eyes and not look. We don't know for sure what is happening when we are not looking, but we do know what the mathematics describing the waves, tells us. When waves pass through a detector, the waves are altered so that they can no longer interact with one another. This means that the striped pattern will disappear even if we are not watching it. The detectors will cause this to happen on their own. However, the mathematics also says that each wave still simultaneously passes through both holes even with the detectors present, but when we open our eyes and look, we always see the detector indicating that the marble passed through only one hole or the other, and never both. Each wave still simultaneously passes through both holes even with the detectors present. But, when we open our eyes and look, we always see the detector indicating that the marble passed through only one hole or the other, and never both. This means that the marble must be more than just a wave. The wave only describes the probability of where we will see the marble when we look at it. The probability of the marble being at a particular location is given by the waves amplitude. The higher the amplitude of the wave at a particular location, the higher the probability is that we will see the marble there when we look. This means that we can never simultaneously know both the position and the momentum. Before the wave hits the detector, we know exactly what direction the momentum is in. However, we know nothing about the object's position. Immediately after we see the marble hit the detector, we know exactly where its position is, but now we know nothing about the direction of the momentum. Not only are we not able to simultaneously measure the position and momentum of an object, the object does not even have a specific position or momentum until we observe it. If the marble always had a specific position, then the marble would not be able to go through both holes simultaneously, which is necessary to produce the striped pattern. But if all objects are just a wave of probability until we observe them, then this means that the detectors and all the objects the marbles interact with are just a wave of probability too. Suppose we place an object behind each of the two holes. The marble will not down (???) one of the two objects, depending on which hole it passes through. If we close our eyes and don't look, then the wave of probability passes through both holes and each object being knocked down also becomes a wave of probability. Just as each marble simultaneously passes through both holes, each object is now simultaneously both standing up and knocked-down. No matter how long we wait after the marbles have hit the objects, each object will continue to have a probability of still being in the standing position, and each object will also continue to have a probability of being in the knocked-down position. According to the mathematics describing the probability waves, neither outcome is certain. It's only when we open our eyes and look that we see only one outcome or the other. It's not just that we ourselves do not know the outcome until look, it seems that even the universe itself does not know which object is standing up and which object is not down until we actually open our eyes and observe the results. To explain why this is the case, and what this means about the fundamental nature of our universe, let us talk about spin. the direction of the spin of a particle can be described by an imaginary arrow. Particles spinning in opposite directions will have their arrows pointing in opposite directions. Particles are too small to see the spin directly with our eyes, but we can build detectors which tell us that the spin is in the direction of the red plate or if the spin is in the direction of the blue plate. Suppose we think that we already know the spin of a particle ahead of time because we have measured it previously and we line up the detector with this direction. The detector will always give us the same result we measured previously, but If the spin we measured previously is not in the same direction as the detector, then the active measuring of the spin ends up changing it. It is not possible to simultaneously measure the spin of a particle in more than one direction at a time. If we want to know the direction of the spin in the horizontal direction, then we need to rotate the detector. But why does this mean that the universe does not know what in object is doing until we observe it. The answer lies in the fact that we can produce pairs of particles that always spin in the opposite directions. If the two detectors are lined in the same direction, then when the spin of one particle is measured to be towards the red plate, the spin of its partner is always measured to be towards the blue plate. This is true 100 percent of the time. This is still true the vast majority of the time even if we offset the detectors by 45 degrees. We know this based on experiments. If we offset the detectors by 45 degrees, then when the spin of one particle is towards the head plate, the spin of its partner will be towards the blue plate; the vast majority of the time. Suppose the two detectors are perfectly aligned with each other and they are both in the diagonal position. Does the universe know ahead of time that the first particle will be measured to be towards the red plate and that the spin of the second particle will therefore be towards the blue plate? If the universe knows ahead of time that the spin of second particle would be towards the blue plate, then this means that the universe must know that the spill of the first particle will probably be towards the red plate; even if we rotate its detector by 45 degrees either into the vertical position or into the horizontal position. Therefore, if the universe knows the results in the diagonal observation ahead of time, then the universe would also know that if one detector will be rotated into the vertical position and other detector will be rotated into the horizontal position, the two particles will still probably be spinning in opposite directions. But when we actually do the experiment this isn't what happens when the two detectors are offset by ninety degrees, there is no correlation between the measured spins of the particles. When the two detectors are off set by ninety degrees, the spins of two particles are just as likely to read in the same direction as they are to in opposite directions. Therefore, if we start out by assuming that the universe knows ahead of time what the measurements would be, this leads to a contradiction. Assuming that the universe knows the answers ahead of time, implies that most of the time the measured vertical spin of one particle must be in the opposite direction of the measured horizontal spin of the second particle, but we know that this is not the case. The apparent implication is that the universe can not know ahead of time what the measurement of the spin will be and the universe makes up its mind only when the spin is actually observed. The apparent implication is also that when the spin of one particle is measured it sends an instantaneous message to its partner to spin in the opposite direction. If each particle makes up its mind about what direction it's spinning only when it's observed, then we need this instantaneous message from one particle to the other in order to guarantee that the two particles will always decide to spin in opposite directions when the detectors are aligned. This is true no matter how far apart the two particles have traveled away from each other; even if we wait until the two particles are on opposite sides of the universe before we make our observation. This instantaneous message still seems to occur. Until we observe the particles, their spins are nothing more than probabilities, but we need to observe only one of the two particles for both of them to simultaneously decide in what direction to spin. If everything in the universe is made out of these particles, including the detectors themselves, then the detectors are also nothing more than a probability until they are observed. According to the mathematics describing the probabilities of the particles, passing through the detector is not what causes the particle's spin to decide to spin in one direction or the other. Passing through the detector entangles the detector to the particle, in the same way that the two particles are entangled to each other. The moment we look at the detector, it seems to sending instantaneous message to the particle so that the detectors measurement will agree with the spin of the particle this is the same way in which the two particles seem to send instantaneous messages to each other. There are many possible explanations as to what's actually happening and how to interpret these results, and this is a matter of considerable debate, but if we really do have these types at instantaneous messages which are faster even than the speed of light then this creates interesting situation with Einstein's theory of relativity. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, different observers will disagree about which of two events happen first, and no observer is more correct than any other. From one observer's point of view the right particle was observed first and cause the left article to change its spin. From another observer's point of view the left particle was observed first and caused the right particle to change its spin. Therefore, we can't know which of these events is the cause, and which of these is the effect since both points of view are equally valid. In fact, according to quantum mechanics, we can't even know which particle is which. Suppose we have two particles in the container. Each particle does not have its own separate probability wave. There is only one probability wave which describes the probability of measuring the two particles in every possible combination of positions. The probability that particle 1 will be in one position and not particle two will be in another position, is exactly equal to the probability that the two particles will be in the swapped positions. Therefore, we cannot know if a particle we're observing is the same particle we measured earlier. If we think about our container as the entire universe, then this would imply that the universe consists of just one probability wave; governing the probability of all the particles in existence. But if we ourselves are made out of this exact particles, then why is the act of us observing something so fundamentally different from everything else in the universe. This is one of the greatest unsolved scientific and philosophical mysteries of all time.

      Time seems to be multidimensional. So all possible things happen at the same time but we only see one (or the other) thing happening depending on what timeline we happen to ride in (a bit of how space exists all at the same time but we only see the piece of space that is close or around us). Time as a whole does not seem to be a distinct dimension but rather a property of space, and since space has 3 dimensions you would expect time to also be 3-dimensional.
      The next Einstein will probably solve his equations in a manner that will show that spacetime is not a thing, that there is only space and time is merely one of its properties... just you wait.

      It doesn't really exist or not exist at the same time. It's specifically one or the other, you just think it's both in your mind until you actually look at it, because it has to be one or the other. But human thinking is not the basis for reality, just our perception of it. This notion of things being 2 things at once and communicating like that instantly over long distances is preposterous. It's along the same lines of saying "if I can't see you, you can't see me."

    The Great Physicists' Road Trip by Ms. Rachel C. Millison
    Great physicists and a few of their friends from the past decide to return to Earth for one last road-trip vacation to the coast together. They all appear on Earth on the designated evening. Heisenberg pulls up behind the wheel of a gigantic 1930's car, a huge grin on his face.
    As they're getting in the car, Hubble looks up and says "What a wonderfully dark sky".
    "Shouldn't be" responds Olbers.
    "Always has been" says Hoyle.
    "No, it hasn't" says Lemaitre.
    "I knew that!" says an embarrassed Einstein.
    Once they're all in, Teller says "Hey guys, this trip is going to be The Bomb!".
    "Yeah, but why do I always have to organize?" asks Oppenheimer.
    "Where exactly will we end up?" asks Kepler.
    "That's impossible to predict" says Bohr.
    "I just can't believe that's true" says Einstein.
    Heisenberg punches the throttle and the old car roars off.
    "Say - this thing sure accelerates" says Newton.
    "I don't know, Isaac. It feels like gravity to me" smirks Einstein.
    Later that night, as they are speeding down a country road, a police car catches up to them and pulls them over.[1]
    "Do you know how fast you were going?" the cop asks. [1]
    "No, but I know exactly where I am" Heisenberg replies. [1]
    The cop says "You were doing 55 in a 35" [1]
    Heisenberg throws up his hands and shouts "Great! Now I'm lost!" [1]
    The cop thinks this is suspicious and orders him to pop open the trunk. He checks it out and says "Do you know you have a dead cat back here?" [1]
    "We do now, a**hole!" shouts Schrodinger. [1]
    "I think it's time to split" says Everett.
    "Say, how did you manage to spot us on such a dark night?" asks Hubble.
    "I saw the light from your head lamps" says the cop.
    "How fast was *it* going?" asks Michelson.
    "That's simple addition" giggles Galileo.
    "Not exactly" says Lorentz.
    "Look here" says Heisenberg, "how do you know I was going that fast?"
    "I clocked you over a measured distance" says the cop.
    "How often?" asks Hertz.
    "I disagree with your measurement, officer" interjects Einstein.
    "Don't start tonight, Albert" says Bohr, shaking his head.
    "What Herr Einstein is trying to say" continues Heisenberg, "is that time was running at a different rate for you than for us".
    "WHAT!!!???" exclaims Newton.
    "It's true" says Maxwell. "We're all famous scientists and, believe us, Herr Einstein proved it, though it came as no surprise to me".
    "Must have been a real eureka moment" nods Archimedes.
    "Extraordinary!" says Galileo.
    "Extraordinary evidence" asserts Sagan.
    "Well, it sounds awfully complicated" responds the cop.
    "Not really. I'll draw you a simple diagram" says Feynman.
    Totally flummoxed, the cop lets them go with a warning. As he drives away, Doppler cocks his head and listens to the sound of the receding police car. "Gotta love that" he says.
    "Amen" responds Hubble.
    Returning to their car, Lord Kelvin remarks "Sure is warm tonight"
    "Yep - lots of disorder" replies Boltzmann.
    "In places you'd never expect" adds Hawking.
    "I was lucky to get away with that" says Heisenberg. "Most cops think they're better than everyone else".
    "Yes - I hate inequality" adds Bell.
    "Though you *were* speeding" says Faraday to Heisenberg. "I carefully observed the needle creep from 35 to 55".
    "Actually, it was jumping, Michael" replies Planck.
    "Hey, Max" says Heisenberg, "If you loan me a tiny bit of money, I'll pay it back so quickly you'll never notice it was gone".
    As they pile back into the car, Bohr says "See here - you must fill the seats in order - no empty spaces allowed. And stop interfering with each other!"
    "Only one of you can sit next to me!" yells an agitated Pauli.
    "Say, Werner - it's stuffy in here. Be a good chap and crack the window a bit" says Hawking.
    "Sorry, Stephen. It can be all the way up or all the way down, but nowhere in between" replies Heisenberg.
    "Hey guys - Albert and I just figured out a great shortcut. Only one bridge" announces Rosen.
    "It will save us a lot of distance" says Einstein, "but it might get spooky".
    Arriving at the beach the next morning, they hurry from the car and stand looking out over the ocean.
    "Look at the wonderful waves" says Schrodinger.
    "They don't look like waves to me" says Bohr.
    Looking down at the fine sand, Dirac exclaims "Look at all the particles!"
    "Now *those* look like waves" says De Broglie.
    "This is great!" exclaims Feynman, rubbing his hands together. "Now, lets go meet some girls!"
    "Sounds good to me!" exclaims Schrodinger.
    "Let's delay" says Wheeler.
    "We have to be discrete" warns Bohm.
    "I need to shave first" says Occam.
    "What are girls?" asks Newton.

    I read a scifi book a while back that had several intelligent races from different star systems. Each race had developed technology out of its own physics. Each technology worked well enough to make interstellar travel possible. Each interstellar drive was unique and completely incompatible with the others -- indeed incomprehensible to the other races. That book really resonated well with my intuition. Perhaps the effect of consciousness upon physics can be different if consciousness can exist in greatly different states.

      If the universe is a simulation, we can assume that what we experience is future humans simulating an “ancestor simulation” of their historic selves, otherwise there would be no need to simulate us observing, or existing at all.
      If this is the case, why would the simulation include such a glaring defect as to openly present these bizarre quantum properties to the observer? This in turn completely changes our theory on science and ruins the authenticity of the ancestor simulation for the simulators.
      Two solutions: firstly, the simulators universe also includes these properties, and subsequently, this is not good evidence that the universe is a simulation on its own or, secondly; the universe is not a simulation and this is how it functions on a quantum level.
      You decide.
