That experiment is obsolete. It's not the "act" of observing that forces photons to behave like a particle. The thing is those detectors are laser detectors that emit photons as well, and when those photons interact they will behave as particles. The experiment that is actually interesting is the delayed-choice experiment, and the quantum entanglement experiment. Which in summary shows that the particle we are measuring will behave differently depending on the way we choose to measure it.
Here's why: Observation of the photon is a direct interaction. In other words, the photon has to strike something - an atom or an electron - for it to register in the devlce,. Once the interaction occurs, that photon no longer exists, and a new photon is created due to the excitation of the atom or electron it hit. The new photon starts its journey without the double slit, so there is no interference pattern
@adama.4622 it's a tautological setup. There is no actual retrocausality. Instead, we are actually just seeing individual subsets of all interference patterns made available by the paths of entangled photons. Nothing actually changes along the path.
That's not the full explanation. You can directly interact with quantum particles to some extend without collapsing the wave function, but if you check what happens it collapses immediately.
there’s a movie from 2004 called What the Bleep Do We Know!? Check it out, I just found it. It solidifies the concept with the doors I was talking about. See I know I wasn’t talk no BS, I knew somebody had to clarify it. Lol
We in fact know exactly why observing a particle causes it to change. It takes light to observe or measure something. Atoms are so small and dense that when light interacts with them they move/change. We’re dealing with something so small that light has the strength to push or move it. Atoms are less dense than the light acting on it and less dense than the space it takes up.
So you seriously believe that these top level scientists would be dumb enough to try to measure light by using a device that projects light also??? Really now?
No one mentions how the sensing device operated. Was it passive or active? Was it simply a camera or did it project out something that needed to be reflected back? If it used a light source then it would interact with the incoming waves and a new interference pattern would be created. Also, was this experiment ever done in a vacuum chamber? Is it possible that light was interacting with the air molecules it was passing through corrupting the results?
Theyre measuring photons which are incredibly small so you need an incredible amount of energy to measure something so small. The device wasn't passive and the only reason this idea is popular is because people intentionally leave this info out to sensationalize this bs
This is one of the things that caused the creation of quantum theory. Basically light behaves both as a wave and a particle. And actually every particle does. And as an "after effect" of quantum theory , string theory emerged trying to explain everything
This is answered in Star talk with Neil De Grasse Tyson, he gives the answer simply as, these are light particles; photons are so tiny that the object used to observe them is also projecting its own light particles in order for the observation to even take place therefore disrupting how the wave patterb would naturally occur causing the photons to behave how they do, when not observed they go back to the natural wave pattern because there are no other photons to disrupt the natural behaviour
WOW, I never heard this explanation before!! Thank you so much! I had a slight intuition that the actual explanation would be somehow like this and not the mainstream and kinda romanticised view of "the presence of an observer changes the nature of the particle/wave ♡". Even if I am a very open-minded scientist, (well, still a student xd) and actually applaud and appreciate that there's being changes in mainstream science when it comes to issues such as materialism, determinism, quantum physics and also the nature of consciousness, I never liked the woo-woo explanation of "your consciousness/the observer changes the behaviour of the photon". This explanation you gave makes so much more sense, I think, so thank you.
Wheeler's delayed-choice experiments demonstrate that extracting "which path" information after a particle passes through the slits can seem to retroactively alter its previous behavior at the slits. it isnt just photons interacting with other photons
You die and end up in a game lobby full of trillions of formerly living things from all over the universe yelling slurs at each other while queuing up for the next Big Bang.

@@frankjamesbonarrigo7162People in this comment section seem to be really dumb, so I don't recommend going to others to find the answer, I'll give it simply to you. "Observing" or "measuring" needs, per definition, to interfere with the system. How so? To measure something, you need to interact with it, either receiving the particles emmited by the system or emmiting your own towards the system; both of them imply adding or removing energy. In quantum physics, isolated particles behave in superposition (which is what this experiment shows), that means they have a lot of different states at the same time (spatial states, spins and so forth). All these possible states can be described in a wave function, which represents the probability of each state happening. When you interact with the system, you FORCE it to CHOOSE a state, as it cannot withhold superposition after interaction with the ambient, we call that decoerence (the wave function collapse). This experiment is really important exactly because it proves that (I've seen people in the comments say this experiment doesn't show anything, which is SO FUCKING STUPID). You realise that, before measuring, light acts as a wave, with tons of states and possible spatial outcomes (positions in space). After measuring, it enters decoerence and chooses a state (based on probability) which becomes fixed, therefore, acts like a particle. Those aspects are what make quantum physics probabilistic, in contrast to classical physics, which are deterministic. In classical physics, you can predict an outcome with certainty (based on logic, math, etc); in quantum physics you can't, you know the probability of each state being chosen after decoerence, but that's it, probability. Any one of them could happen.
@@Ljkyormann That's not how it works, people seem to have a strange idea about what "observed" means. Observing is a literal synonym in quantum physics for "direct measuring". Measuring something implies altering the system, as to measure you need to catch something or emit something yourself (like a photon), which means you NEED to add or subtract energy from the system. As soon as the system interacts with the ambient, it can't continue superposition, so it enter decoherence (behaves like a classical particle). Human mind has NOTHING to do with it, the only thing that matters is any kind of interaction.
@@Ljkyormann The measuring device obviously isn't being used at all in the non-measured experiment, or else it would be a "measured experiment", being measured by a measuring device.
Observing things on this much smaller scale requires you get something to interact with the thing you are observing. It's like if you're slinging your arms around in a dark room to find somebody and are surprised when your friend's behavior becomes more hostile when your hand "finds" his face.
Not observing, but only measuring by measurement apparatus! Don't confuse people, you can make this experiment at home and observe as longer as you want and waves will remain as waves. Only special measurement apparatus has smth to do with that, not us.
"A measuring device" is the glossed over part. Exactly what is the measuring device doing to the light to change its nature? They never mention that in these brief discussions of the double slit experiment.
The wave pattern is a lot less expensive to use than particles. Everything that we observe directly in front of us is projected by particles to our eyes giving us great detail, while everything we don’t see or can’t observe behind us is made of waves requiring a lot less processing and detail. Only when we turn to look behind us are those waves changed to particles in order to present a clear detailed image.
When you die you hear a voice say "and cut" you raise up and remove a mask just to find out that your Gary Oldman, cos that's how good a actor Gary Oldham is.
One possible way to understand reality from this experiment could be; 1- Observation creates our reality. 2- Reality is one possibility that we bring into existence from waves of all possibilities. 3- All possibilities exist but our action bring one into existence to form our reality. Just guessing!
We'll done! best explanation on here, to me. No disrespect to any other responses 🧘🏽♂️ Do not try and bend the spoon-that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth.” Neo: “What truth?” Young Monk: “There is no spoon. …
What about dBB theory? Physical pilot waves (from measuring device) disturbs other pilot waves (from the source in the experiment = laser) -> original interference pattern is destroyed. So elegant, simple, verified interpretation. I did bachelor thesis about this theory and I have no idea why more physicist do not support this idea. It is almost like some global brainwashing :D
If the photons were observed more they had to detect photons somehow with diffrent particles and that made them particles not consiousness we probably arent in a simulation why would they make life like this and not tell us anything thats evil and the photons didnt have enough time to turn back to waves if we did the double slit experiment but the thing is a few meters big it defenitely wouldnt have shown this effect because the photons turned back to waves before they interacted with the slits
The only real proof we will ever have about the simulation hypothesis is when we ourselves create hyper-realistic worlds with sentient agents inside computer simulations. It needs to have nearly all the same capabilities and laws of physics and level of detail as our current world. When that happens, we can be quite sure this is a simulation as well. Because it proves it is possible, and if it is possible, it is unlikely we are the very first one to do it, the so called base-reality. If we find out it's impossible to create these kinds of universes in this reality, it will not prove that we are not in a simulation but it will give us a strong indication about the nature of our reality (likely not a simulation)
Us Being in a simulation is no more far fetched than saying space/universe never ends. Or that we were created God. Or were created by some alien life form. Or that life on earth was created by amino acids & other things that hitched a ride on comets & ☄ meteors that hit earth, planspermia I think it's called. All sound kinda crazy but are also very possible because we had to of came from somewhere.
We know why the behaviour of parties changed- it’s because of the measurement method. The fact that we need to interact with the wave in order to measure its position changes its wave propagation into a particle.
“…No one knows why observing a particle causes its behavior to change.” Yes we do, it’s apparent that whatever device was used to observe which slit the photon/particle passed through -disturbed, interfered with, and scattered the waveform leaving only two lines. The experiment was faulty and we need a non invasive way to observe which slit the photon/particle goes through. In the end when observed uninvasively, we will still see a waveform interference pattern and still know which slit each photon/particle went through. The measurement device blocked the waveform and only allowed the photon/particle through.
almost correct, except that it always was just a wave, never a particle, and because a wave has an area of infuence, it can only ever pass through both at once if they are close enough. you cannot measure were it went through because its a wave and particles are not real, but trying to determine one side results in one side triggering first and interacting with it, disturbing it in the process, which results in the disturbed part not contributing to any interference because it got scattered
I mostly agree with this, it’s that we interfere with it that causes it to be this way not kuz we are watching it with out eyes. That’s dumb to think that particles have brain lol
This video left out an important detail, the wave pattern only goes away with single particles when they are destroyed by the detector... (this is the observer effect, our only ways to detect for the particles destroys them!!) stop spreading misinfo and making reality seem weirder than it is. There is weird QM stuff but this isn’t it
Implications could be that most of whats being observed & assumed to be true yet could also be untrue, any experiment .. We know water molecules change shape with observation & Buddhists monks praying over, I’ve seen in docos so perhaps the energy coming from those observing anything
This is ridiculous, that is not a proof at all. 1) The universe does not seem to be rendering things as we deal with them, like in a game. We can observe the spectra of atoms billions of light years away, which were emitted long before we existed, in all directions, and by the spectra of that light, we conclude that the electrons were, billions of years ago, acting like standing waves around the nucleus and emitting the photons like so. 2) What does it mean to observe something? The wave nature of particles is not something we can't even write equations about, we literally have a wave function which describes exactly how the 3d waves propagate in space and time, and how the electron waves oscillate around the nucleus of atoms. 3) The "two points / slits" that we observe when we detect particles do not mean "particle", it means we are less precise about one of the conjugate variables, like Heisenberg taught us. Simply because of the nature of waves, and that we are using waves to detect other waves. 4) This is a problem in the logic of science. The universe can be a simulation created by aliens, if you would like to follow this hypothesis, but the "Measurement Problem" in quantum mechanics is just not good evidence for it. Logically, the Cosmic Event Horizon would be better evidence for this hypothesis, for example, but even though better, would still be bad.

@@cai0_o The thing is, what you think that you're always observing is an illusion, as long as you're looking at it with the telescope it exists but as soon as you shut it down, you basically don't see them and therefore don't exist. And as soon as you look at them again, the image you see has just been made with all of its proprities such as age and etc. The space as i look at it with the naked eye is just pixels ( the stars are small and everything looks smaller), but if I use a telescope i see more and therefore more gets rendered in the same way in a game, you're in a road and you see a big sight right at the horizon and doesn't look more that just few pixels but as soon as you get closer to the city the game reders more frames and it becomes more detailled. The Simulator (or i like to call him god) won't have to make the whole universe at once, the same way the Game doesn't load the whole game up at the same time. However, this Double Slit Experience isn't considered as the biggest piece of proof to me, there is much more evidence to prove that we are likely in a simulation than this such as the golden ration and the indeniable intellegence design of the universe and how everthing seems to be made with equal vallues.
I'm no physics major, but the instrument which is used to observe the photons interacts with the photons( since observing photons is not a simple task, we have to project some sort of a ray towards the protons and then the reflection of the ray is what we observe). anyone well versed in this topic please elaborate and enlighten!
@@dipdip907it is the “greatest proof” doesn’t mean it’s hardcore proof, but this experiment is the greatest experiment that backs simulation theory When observed photons change the way they travel and don’t travel like waves. This is very similar to a video game, when you “render” something in and the game behaves differently because your player is there to observe whatever is occurring. In Minecraft you load chunks around you based on your players location. In this experiment, the method at which photons travel changes if the traveling is observed, aka if you player is there to watch these photons travel they will not behave as they would if you weren’t there trying to observe. The photons are seemingly conscious of being observed aka ‘when they are being rendered’ I am not bsing you, this experiment is that mind blowing, go do more research
Glad to read most comments here point out that in this experiment "the act" of observation cannot be done without interfering with what is observed, thereby changing the outcome. Great work everyone!
We do understand why. It’s because in order to observe it we have to shine a light on it that we can then detect to „see“. This very light is interacting with the particles causing them to collapse from their superposition and transform into a particle. The thing we don’t understand is the superposition and how it works.
I read an explanation once that goes as, to see something light must be reflected from it so as electrons are practically massless( very light)the incident light on the electron actually changes the direction of motion of the particle and so the path deviates. But i don't think this explanation will be applicable here(I don't know if the result of this experiment is same every time) because instead of deviating randomly they just choose to obey a fixed route🙂
They need to do the experiment without the red light or whatever on the measuring device. The light from that also emits protons that may change how the light partials and waves are observed.
Im discussing the interference of light waves and the potential impact of the measuring device's emitted protons on readings. The idea is that removing the light protons emitted by the device might yield more accurate results in observing the behavior of the light waves. Essentially, it revolves around the interaction of light with light and the attempt to isolate the phenomenon being observed from external influences. Does this make any sense yet?
@tausenrico126 When I refer to "light vs. light," I am describing the interaction of light waves. Light behaves both as particles (photons) and waves. When two light waves encounter each other, they can interfere constructively (amplifying each other) or destructively (canceling each other out). This phenomenon is based on the superposition principle in wave physics. In constructive interference, the peaks of two waves align, resulting in a stronger, amplified wave. In destructive interference, the peak of one wave aligns with the trough of another, causing cancellation and a weaker overall wave. Think of how water crashing against itself reflects the concept of interference, where wave patterns change based on their interaction. In the context of my comment, the emitted light protons from a measuring device may interfere with the light waves being observed, potentially affecting the accuracy of measurements or observations. Hopefully this clears up any confusions you or anyone else may have by what I said.
I can the reason is you're using a A measuring device that also has waves that interfere or even intersect the wave. So it's gonna cause the particles and the waves to act differently
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed-choice_quantum_eraser However, what makes this experiment possibly astonishing is that, unlike in the classic double-slit experiment, the choice of whether to preserve or erase the which-path information of the idler was not made until 8 ns after the position of the signal photon had already been measured by D0. wrong it is something fundament to do with quantum physics "Because it demonstrates the fundamental limitation of the ability of the observer to predict experimental results, Richard Feynman called it "a phenomenon which is impossible […] to explain in any classical way, and which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics. In reality, it contains the only mystery [of quantum mechanics]."
The matrix doesn't want us to know what really is happening. This is a patch just like when you try to find bugs and manipulate a game/application the developer patches that bug.
No the interesting thing we observe is that yes it is in a superposition but it's the reason for a particles Collapse to one of the 2 states which is interesting. It seems to be the act of a conscious observer which causes collapse
That's the most retarded thing you could possibly say it has nothing to do with it. It's because in order to observe it you have to shoot other things at it (photons) which is what actually causes the wave collapse. Whether a human or consciousness looks at the results of the observation device doesn't matter in the slightest and is the dumbest take you could possibly have on this. The entire point of the experiment is to try and determine at what point do things in quantum mechanics go from being waves of energy to solid particles and what the experiment proves is that the question isn't easy to answer as it appears that photons and electrons can be both, or at least behave as both.
Saves GPU and CPU and RAM processing power to only render in real time what is directly observed. Just like in movies with CG where they only render what the camera sees. Everything else is a grey void of potential.
That is a very interesting point, calculating if or if not certain types of measurement will inevitably be observed across such a large time scale would also take up a lot of processing power. What I’m getting at is that to properly detect whether certain forms of measurement will be observed is a lot more complicated and probably just as process consuming as just having loaded radiuses around each conscious being lol.
I personally believe thought, that this example is extremely simplified and there are many factors that may be influencing the light that we can’t see. Such as “detection/measurement”. This detection in certain experiments isn’t done with a type of camera as shown here, it’s done with polarisation filters which do interact with the light. This has the possibility of affecting the light, even on a subatomic scale and possible “collapsing” it into a state. This is the idea of “measurement is interaction”. Either way, rn I don’t really know. I’m just putting ideas out there, but I’m still learning. :D
For a long time it felt like the double slit experiment was presented like the mere act of a person looking at it changed how the particles behaved (hence the woo woo factor). I did wonder how they could know if the recording device interfered or interacted with the experiment. I might still have the wrong idea because I haven’t figured out Schrödinger’s cat’s viability status. 😊
There is no way to prove the simulation theory without being outside of it, which will never happen. I promise. All this proves is that there are things we still do not understand. What is truly fascinating is that human beings are still surprised by this fact.
How did they observe these particles exactly? Did they observe in such a way that they added energy or mass to the particle and changed its state of being?
No it's not just like that. If you are watching it it goes into 2 slits but if u still have the microscope on but ur not looking it's multiple slits. Which is quite concerning 😅
The reason why the particles behave differently is because you’re sending light at the particles when you’re recording it or watching it you’re sending energy, which is an interference with the particles. That is why they behave differently.
Everything here depends on the definition of "measuring device." Why isn't the setup producing the wave pattern considered to be a measuring device? Perhaps she means a particle detection device.
This is like sticking your hand in the water and being confused by the water altering direction to get around your hand. By attempting to measure the particles, you are dispruting their normal path, hence the behavior change.
The measuring device must emit something to observe the electrons, that radiation is observed by the electrons that changed their state. Just a possibility:)
With no expectation the truth will be shown to you, but with expectation your conciousness reshapes reality. So it’s really an example of how we create our own reality
In democracies where you aren't observed possibilities increase as waves ... can have chaos too . In dictatorships two slits make everyone fall in line .
Maybe it's because our eyes can't see the waves. Just like we can't see radio, micro, infrared light - our eyes aren't advanced enough to visibly see energy as waves only as particles.
You can’t observe something without interfering with it in some way. Even just looking at it, the light bouncing off of it interferes with it ever so slightly.
even when light from distant galaxies was so faint it took weeks for enough photons to create an image they still arranged themselves as waves one photon at a time exactly in the right place although random to create the wave function.
I'm pretty sure it's with electrons in the experiment (maybe not) and the device can change the wave or particle based on quantum superposition or wave particle duality allowing it to behave as both as well as changing as you interact with it. It's like you touch an ant it speeds up. The act of measurement causes the photon or electron to choose a form
Isn't it common knowledge than light behaves in two natures. Particle and wave. How then did you come to this misleading title that this suggests our universe is a simulation?
Photons are to small to see, we dont have the technology to create a camera that can capture atoms movements. So what is this detector they always mention, its just a screen made up of small atomic numbers, and when photons are shot through, it absorbs its light so the wave we see is canceled out and only shows the stronger light. Goes from cylindrical properties to spherical. And thus creating the theory that observing (measuring) the atom changes it behavior. Not true, since we measure the atom which means to interact with it instead of actually observing, we are given false data. Hopefully one day we can actually observe rather then measure
It has nothing to do with the act of "observation". It's the interaction with the measuring device which "forces the photon" to "make a choice". You're implying that it's the presence of a concious being that matters somehow, which is simply not the case.
You just need to learn more about physics, the device you're using to observe the streams of light is interacting with them in the mechanism of its observation, thus changing the outcome of the experiment.
That’s literally just the effect of the _’measuring device’_ on the experiment. This is the only field of science where mysticism is introduced rather than recognizing the effects of the equipment in the methods section.
wow thank you for regurgitating a very well known experiment without any context or information about it and making the huge jump to the dumb reddit tier idea that Woah Dude We're In A Simulation Bro The Matrix?????
That’s not accurate. It has nothing do with witnessing. It has do with measuring. Let’s say you and I are in the same room. Here is what’s going on. We are illuminated by lights in the room. The light is coming off the bulb, reflecting off of you and entering my retina going to my brain. Let’s say you were smaller. Let’s keep making you and smaller and smaller and smaller… there is a size below witch when I turn on the lights, you will absorb that light and jump into a different state of existence. But if you were an electron, I turn on the lights and the photon hits the electron, the electron jumps into a different state. Here is the catch: I cannot know the electron is doing until I illuminate it. But if I illuminate it, it’s doing something different from what it was before I illuminated it. It has nothing to do with consciousness. It has to do with interacting with the object in order to make a measurement. Also you didn’t explain what it has to with living in a simulation. That is just clickbait nonsense.

That's not the full explanation. You can directly interact with quantum particles to some extend without collapsing the wave function, but if you check what happens it collapses immediately.

This is one of the things that caused the creation of quantum theory. Basically light behaves both as a wave and a particle. And actually every particle does. And as an "after effect" of quantum theory , string theory emerged trying to explain everything
This does not support only a simulation as the cause, as it more likely indicates that our understanding of light is simply incomplete.
This is answered in Star talk with Neil De Grasse Tyson, he gives the answer simply as, these are light particles; photons are so tiny that the object used to observe them is also projecting its own light particles in order for the observation to even take place therefore disrupting how the wave patterb would naturally occur causing the photons to behave how they do, when not observed they go back to the natural wave pattern because there are no other photons to disrupt the natural behaviour
WOW, I never heard this explanation before!! Thank you so much!
I had a slight intuition that the actual explanation would be somehow like this and not the mainstream and kinda romanticised view of "the presence of an observer changes the nature of the particle/wave ♡". Even if I am a very open-minded scientist, (well, still a student xd) and actually applaud and appreciate that there's being changes in mainstream science when it comes to issues such as materialism, determinism, quantum physics and also the nature of consciousness, I never liked the woo-woo explanation of "your consciousness/the observer changes the behaviour of the photon". This explanation you gave makes so much more sense, I think, so thank you.
@@minsungderstandingsthe “observation” is the waves the detector emits. Particle physics doesn’t measure particles as much as it measures interactions
That's the same theory I also had about why. Cool.
A theory for which there is no proof.
Wheeler's delayed-choice experiments demonstrate that extracting "which path" information after a particle passes through the slits can seem to retroactively alter its previous behavior at the slits.
it isnt just photons interacting with other photons

The measuring device is interfering with the wave pattern somehow, causing the waves to collapse.
That’s the explanation, but how is it interfering?
@@frankjamesbonarrigo7162People in this comment section seem to be really dumb, so I don't recommend going to others to find the answer, I'll give it simply to you.
"Observing" or "measuring" needs, per definition, to interfere with the system. How so? To measure something, you need to interact with it, either receiving the particles emmited by the system or emmiting your own towards the system; both of them imply adding or removing energy.
In quantum physics, isolated particles behave in superposition (which is what this experiment shows), that means they have a lot of different states at the same time (spatial states, spins and so forth). All these possible states can be described in a wave function, which represents the probability of each state happening.
When you interact with the system, you FORCE it to CHOOSE a state, as it cannot withhold superposition after interaction with the ambient, we call that decoerence (the wave function collapse). This experiment is really important exactly because it proves that (I've seen people in the comments say this experiment doesn't show anything, which is SO FUCKING STUPID).
You realise that, before measuring, light acts as a wave, with tons of states and possible spatial outcomes (positions in space). After measuring, it enters decoerence and chooses a state (based on probability) which becomes fixed, therefore, acts like a particle.
Those aspects are what make quantum physics probabilistic, in contrast to classical physics, which are deterministic. In classical physics, you can predict an outcome with certainty (based on logic, math, etc); in quantum physics you can't, you know the probability of each state being chosen after decoerence, but that's it, probability. Any one of them could happen.
@@Ljkyormann That's not how it works, people seem to have a strange idea about what "observed" means. Observing is a literal synonym in quantum physics for "direct measuring". Measuring something implies altering the system, as to measure you need to catch something or emit something yourself (like a photon), which means you NEED to add or subtract energy from the system.
As soon as the system interacts with the ambient, it can't continue superposition, so it enter decoherence (behaves like a classical particle). Human mind has NOTHING to do with it, the only thing that matters is any kind of interaction.
@@Ljkyormann The measuring device obviously isn't being used at all in the non-measured experiment, or else it would be a "measured experiment", being measured by a measuring device.
Observing things on this much smaller scale requires you get something to interact with the thing you are observing.
It's like if you're slinging your arms around in a dark room to find somebody and are surprised when your friend's behavior becomes more hostile when your hand "finds" his face.
Actually, it's behavior changes when the area is illuminated, which it needs to be in order to be observed.
*farts loudly
Greatest proof people that want to believe the simulation theory will ledge on to anything as ‘definite proof’
I love love love brief, precise, illustrations like this. 🎉🎉🎉
How was the observation of slit conducted ? I mean what device was used?
Not observing, but only measuring by measurement apparatus! Don't confuse people, you can make this experiment at home and observe as longer as you want and waves will remain as waves. Only special measurement apparatus has smth to do with that, not us.
To simplify, your eye balls are the slits
_Slit_ is a dubious word choice 💀
"A measuring device" is the glossed over part. Exactly what is the measuring device doing to the light to change its nature? They never mention that in these brief discussions of the double slit experiment.
The wave pattern is a lot less expensive to use than particles. Everything that we observe directly in front of us is projected by particles to our eyes giving us great detail, while everything we don’t see or can’t observe behind us is made of waves requiring a lot less processing and detail. Only when we turn to look behind us are those waves changed to particles in order to present a clear detailed image.
what is that measuring device used for observation?
When you die you hear a voice say "and cut" you raise up and remove a mask just to find out that your Gary Oldman, cos that's how good a actor Gary Oldham is.
One possible way to understand reality from this experiment could be;
1- Observation creates our reality.
2- Reality is one possibility that we bring into existence from waves of all possibilities.
3- All possibilities exist but our action bring one into existence to form our reality.
Just guessing!

We've seen water expiriments that are similar to this, where cursing can dirty one and blessing can clean one.
What about dBB theory? Physical pilot waves (from measuring device) disturbs other pilot waves (from the source in the experiment = laser) -> original interference pattern is destroyed. So elegant, simple, verified interpretation. I did bachelor thesis about this theory and I have no idea why more physicist do not support this idea. It is almost like some global brainwashing :D
If the photons were observed more they had to detect photons somehow with diffrent particles and that made them particles not consiousness we probably arent in a simulation why would they make life like this and not tell us anything thats evil and the photons didnt have enough time to turn back to waves if we did the double slit experiment but the thing is a few meters big it defenitely wouldnt have shown this effect because the photons turned back to waves before they interacted with the slits
The only real proof we will ever have about the simulation hypothesis is when we ourselves create hyper-realistic worlds with sentient agents inside computer simulations. It needs to have nearly all the same capabilities and laws of physics and level of detail as our current world. When that happens, we can be quite sure this is a simulation as well. Because it proves it is possible, and if it is possible, it is unlikely we are the very first one to do it, the so called base-reality. If we find out it's impossible to create these kinds of universes in this reality, it will not prove that we are not in a simulation but it will give us a strong indication about the nature of our reality (likely not a simulation)
Us Being in a simulation is no more far fetched than saying space/universe never ends. Or that we were created God. Or were created by some alien life form. Or that life on earth was created by amino acids & other things that hitched a ride on comets & ☄ meteors that hit earth, planspermia I think it's called. All sound kinda crazy but are also very possible because we had to of came from somewhere.
Yoo I've thought that as well
We know why the behaviour of parties changed- it’s because of the measurement method. The fact that we need to interact with the wave in order to measure its position changes its wave propagation into a particle.
“…No one knows why observing a particle causes its behavior to change.”
Yes we do, it’s apparent that whatever device was used to observe which slit the photon/particle passed through -disturbed, interfered with, and scattered the waveform leaving only two lines.
The experiment was faulty and we need a non invasive way to observe which slit the photon/particle goes through. In the end when observed uninvasively, we will still see a waveform interference pattern and still know which slit each photon/particle went through.
The measurement device blocked the waveform and only allowed the photon/particle through.
why was this experiment never done?
We already did with the Negative-result test.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renninger_negative-result_experiment
almost correct, except that it always was just a wave, never a particle, and because a wave has an area of infuence, it can only ever pass through both at once if they are close enough. you cannot measure were it went through because its a wave and particles are not real, but trying to determine one side results in one side triggering first and interacting with it, disturbing it in the process, which results in the disturbed part not contributing to any interference because it got scattered
But we have tested if it was the measurement device which it was not.
It's called the quantum eraser expirement
I mostly agree with this, it’s that we interfere with it that causes it to be this way not kuz we are watching it with out eyes. That’s dumb to think that particles have brain lol
The simulation need to patch this before people start asking questions 😂😂 new world update soon I can’t wait
This video left out an important detail, the wave pattern only goes away with single particles when they are destroyed by the detector... (this is the observer effect, our only ways to detect for the particles destroys them!!) stop spreading misinfo and making reality seem weirder than it is. There is weird QM stuff but this isn’t it
Can you make avideo of the experiment itself, showing the moment the pattern changes.
Implications could be that most of whats being observed & assumed to be true yet could also be untrue, any experiment ..
We know water molecules change shape with observation & Buddhists monks praying over, I’ve seen in docos so perhaps the energy coming from those observing anything
This is ridiculous, that is not a proof at all.
1) The universe does not seem to be rendering things as we deal with them, like in a game. We can observe the spectra of atoms billions of light years away, which were emitted long before we existed, in all directions, and by the spectra of that light, we conclude that the electrons were, billions of years ago, acting like standing waves around the nucleus and emitting the photons like so.
2) What does it mean to observe something? The wave nature of particles is not something we can't even write equations about, we literally have a wave function which describes exactly how the 3d waves propagate in space and time, and how the electron waves oscillate around the nucleus of atoms.
3) The "two points / slits" that we observe when we detect particles do not mean "particle", it means we are less precise about one of the conjugate variables, like Heisenberg taught us. Simply because of the nature of waves, and that we are using waves to detect other waves.
4) This is a problem in the logic of science. The universe can be a simulation created by aliens, if you would like to follow this hypothesis, but the "Measurement Problem" in quantum mechanics is just not good evidence for it. Logically, the Cosmic Event Horizon would be better evidence for this hypothesis, for example, but even though better, would still be bad.

The point is that it's similar to a game rendering only what you see in-game, instead of rendering the whole game world all the time. Got it?

They never said it was proof.
@@cai0_o The thing is, what you think that you're always observing is an illusion, as long as you're looking at it with the telescope it exists but as soon as you shut it down, you basically don't see them and therefore don't exist.
And as soon as you look at them again, the image you see has just been made with all of its proprities such as age and etc.
The space as i look at it with the naked eye is just pixels ( the stars are small and everything looks smaller), but if I use a telescope i see more and therefore more gets rendered in the same way in a game, you're in a road and you see a big sight right at the horizon and doesn't look more that just few pixels but as soon as you get closer to the city the game reders more frames and it becomes more detailled. The Simulator (or i like to call him god) won't have to make the whole universe at once, the same way the Game doesn't load the whole game up at the same time.
However, this Double Slit Experience isn't considered as the biggest piece of proof to me, there is much more evidence to prove that we are likely in a simulation than this such as the golden ration and the indeniable intellegence design of the universe and how everthing seems to be made with equal vallues.
I'm no physics major, but the instrument which is used to observe the photons interacts with the photons( since observing photons is not a simple task, we have to project some sort of a ray towards the protons and then the reflection of the ray is what we observe).
anyone well versed in this topic please elaborate and enlighten!

@@dipdip907it is the “greatest proof” doesn’t mean it’s hardcore proof, but this experiment is the greatest experiment that backs simulation theory
When observed photons change the way they travel and don’t travel like waves. This is very similar to a video game, when you “render” something in and the game behaves differently because your player is there to observe whatever is occurring. In Minecraft you load chunks around you based on your players location. In this experiment, the method at which photons travel changes if the traveling is observed, aka if you player is there to watch these photons travel they will not behave as they would if you weren’t there trying to observe. The photons are seemingly conscious of being observed aka ‘when they are being rendered’
I am not bsing you, this experiment is that mind blowing, go do more research
The most elementary and valuable statement in science, the beginning of wisdom, is, "I do not know."
isn't this simple our measuring device has some problem
Does NO ONE know how to google “how are photons observed” ? 😅
Glad to read most comments here point out that in this experiment "the act" of observation cannot be done without interfering with what is observed, thereby changing the outcome. Great work everyone!
There are still some people writing about how photons are consciously aware lol
As much as i wanna laugh at these people its kinda sad
Reality is a set of probabilities until it's observed.
We do understand why. It’s because in order to observe it we have to shine a light on it that we can then detect to „see“. This very light is interacting with the particles causing them to collapse from their superposition and transform into a particle. The thing we don’t understand is the superposition and how it works.
Actually you don’t get two lines. You get a single slit diffraction pattern
I read an explanation once that goes as, to see something light must be reflected from it so as electrons are practically massless( very light)the incident light on the electron actually changes the direction of motion of the particle and so the path deviates. But i don't think this explanation will be applicable here(I don't know if the result of this experiment is same every time) because instead of deviating randomly they just choose to obey a fixed route🙂
They need to do the experiment without the red light or whatever on the measuring device. The light from that also emits protons that may change how the light partials and waves are observed.
I hope you understand that ANY measuring device is going to affect the particle somehow, just think it through.
@tausenrico126 that's literally what they said in the video. Thanks for reminding me ig? Lol
@@CallMe6 why did you comment "they need to remove the light..."
If you understand the concept?
Im discussing the interference of light waves and the potential impact of the measuring device's emitted protons on readings. The idea is that removing the light protons emitted by the device might yield more accurate results in observing the behavior of the light waves. Essentially, it revolves around the interaction of light with light and the attempt to isolate the phenomenon being observed from external influences. Does this make any sense yet?
@tausenrico126 When I refer to "light vs. light," I am describing the interaction of light waves. Light behaves both as particles (photons) and waves. When two light waves encounter each other, they can interfere constructively (amplifying each other) or destructively (canceling each other out). This phenomenon is based on the superposition principle in wave physics.
In constructive interference, the peaks of two waves align, resulting in a stronger, amplified wave. In destructive interference, the peak of one wave aligns with the trough of another, causing cancellation and a weaker overall wave.
Think of how water crashing against itself reflects the concept of interference, where wave patterns change based on their interaction. In the context of my comment, the emitted light protons from a measuring device may interfere with the light waves being observed, potentially affecting the accuracy of measurements or observations. Hopefully this clears up any confusions you or anyone else may have by what I said.
It really is the wildest experiment of our time.
I don’t think it’s just observing, I think it’s the act of trying measure or record it causes interfere.
Same thing
They did same experiment with electron! Same result!
@@GreysOrbitshow do you know the result without observing/measure it? I'm confused

@@unknownuser4816

Correct me if I’m wrong: A typical light source (like a lightbulb) and a laser give different results
I can the reason is you're using a A measuring device that also has waves that interfere or even intersect the wave. So it's gonna cause the particles and the waves to act differently
Wrong
@chriscassidy9678so if electromagnetism doesn't effect light then what is your "theory"?
Yep, absorption and reemission create collapse and recreation of the lights wave function.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed-choice_quantum_eraser
However, what makes this experiment possibly astonishing is that, unlike in the classic double-slit experiment, the choice of whether to preserve or erase the which-path information of the idler was not made until 8 ns after the position of the signal photon had already been measured by D0.
wrong it is something fundament to do with quantum physics
"Because it demonstrates the fundamental limitation of the ability of the observer to predict experimental results, Richard Feynman called it "a phenomenon which is impossible […] to explain in any classical way, and which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics. In reality, it contains the only mystery [of quantum mechanics]."
This is just concerning
The matrix doesn't want us to know what really is happening. This is a patch just like when you try to find bugs and manipulate a game/application the developer patches that bug.
we know, it's called quantum superposition
No the interesting thing we observe is that yes it is in a superposition but it's the reason for a particles Collapse to one of the 2 states which is interesting.
It seems to be the act of a conscious observer which causes collapse
That's the most retarded thing you could possibly say it has nothing to do with it. It's because in order to observe it you have to shoot other things at it (photons) which is what actually causes the wave collapse. Whether a human or consciousness looks at the results of the observation device doesn't matter in the slightest and is the dumbest take you could possibly have on this.
The entire point of the experiment is to try and determine at what point do things in quantum mechanics go from being waves of energy to solid particles and what the experiment proves is that the question isn't easy to answer as it appears that photons and electrons can be both, or at least behave as both.
no.
It's not the behavior that changes but perspective. Our instruments can only observe the particles of light not where they come from
Saves GPU and CPU and RAM processing power to only render in real time what is directly observed. Just like in movies with CG where they only render what the camera sees. Everything else is a grey void of potential.
That is a very interesting point, calculating if or if not certain types of measurement will inevitably be observed across such a large time scale would also take up a lot of processing power.
What I’m getting at is that to properly detect whether certain forms of measurement will be observed is a lot more complicated and probably just as process consuming as just having loaded radiuses around each conscious being lol.
I personally believe thought, that this example is extremely simplified and there are many factors that may be influencing the light that we can’t see.
Such as “detection/measurement”. This detection in certain experiments isn’t done with a type of camera as shown here, it’s done with polarisation filters which do interact with the light.
This has the possibility of affecting the light, even on a subatomic scale and possible “collapsing” it into a state.
This is the idea of “measurement is interaction”.
Either way, rn I don’t really know. I’m just putting ideas out there, but I’m still learning. :D
For a long time it felt like the double slit experiment was presented like the mere act of a person looking at it changed how the particles behaved (hence the woo woo factor). I did wonder how they could know if the recording device interfered or interacted with the experiment. I might still have the wrong idea because I haven’t figured out Schrödinger’s cat’s viability status. 😊
There is no way to prove the simulation theory without being outside of it, which will never happen. I promise. All this proves is that there are things we still do not understand. What is truly fascinating is that human beings are still surprised by this fact.
How did they observe these particles exactly? Did they observe in such a way that they added energy or mass to the particle and changed its state of being?
No it's not just like that. If you are watching it it goes into 2 slits but if u still have the microscope on but ur not looking it's multiple slits. Which is quite concerning 😅
This is misinformation. Please take it down.
Not the first for this channel. I fear it's not the last.
Please elaborate. What do you mean misinfo? How so?
Because it has been estabilished why observing a particle alters its behaviour.
@@Stinkycorgielaborate. Not it hasn't
@@Stinkycorgi not true. We still don’t know why.
The reason why the particles behave differently is because you’re sending light at the particles when you’re recording it or watching it you’re sending energy, which is an interference with the particles. That is why they behave differently.
We are in a simulation
Everything here depends on the definition of "measuring device." Why isn't the setup producing the wave pattern considered to be a measuring device?
Perhaps she means a particle detection device.
At least you didn't use Proof of god as your clickbait title. 🤦
This is like sticking your hand in the water and being confused by the water altering direction to get around your hand. By attempting to measure the particles, you are dispruting their normal path, hence the behavior change.
This explains absolutely nothing
The measuring device must emit something to observe the electrons, that radiation is observed by the electrons that changed their state. Just a possibility:)
Literary Science Fiction. Are we really real? Or are we simulated.
With no expectation the truth will be shown to you, but with expectation your conciousness reshapes reality. So it’s really an example of how we create our own reality
Because by observing it you are interrupting the light particles and causing a different test result.
i don't think that's how vision works buddy
In democracies where you aren't observed possibilities increase as waves ... can have chaos too . In dictatorships two slits make everyone fall in line .
How do you replicate this at home? What measuring device is used?
Maybe it's because our eyes can't see the waves. Just like we can't see radio, micro, infrared light - our eyes aren't advanced enough to visibly see energy as waves only as particles.
You explained that better than most vids I’ve clicked. Thanks
What did the particles say to the observer?
“Don’t watch me, I’m changing!”
You can’t observe something without interfering with it in some way. Even just looking at it, the light bouncing off of it interferes with it ever so slightly.
I just studied young' s double slit experiment like a hour ago and you guys recommended me this >>>>>
even when light from distant galaxies was so faint it took weeks for enough photons to create an image they still arranged themselves as waves one photon at a time exactly in the right place although random to create the wave function.
So, it’s like the dancing frog? Hello my baby, hallo my daring!
Young's double slit experiment
We know why they change, they interact with the measuring tools and light.
Exactly, when we can measure it without interaction it will stay as a wave particle again. We just aint there yet
I'm pretty sure it's with electrons in the experiment (maybe not) and the device can change the wave or particle based on quantum superposition or wave particle duality allowing it to behave as both as well as changing as you interact with it. It's like you touch an ant it speeds up. The act of measurement causes the photon or electron to choose a form
It doesn't mean we are "in a simulation". It means that consciousness is primary and that everything is connected.
Isn't it common knowledge than light behaves in two natures. Particle and wave. How then did you come to this misleading title that this suggests our universe is a simulation?
Yes it is but she is not aware of that haha. This channel has only such misleading and false informations always. Waste channel
It got even weirder when they unplugged the camera.
Photons are to small to see, we dont have the technology to create a camera that can capture atoms movements. So what is this detector they always mention, its just a screen made up of small atomic numbers, and when photons are shot through, it absorbs its light so the wave we see is canceled out and only shows the stronger light. Goes from cylindrical properties to spherical. And thus creating the theory that observing (measuring) the atom changes it behavior. Not true, since we measure the atom which means to interact with it instead of actually observing, we are given false data. Hopefully one day we can actually observe rather then measure
The more screens you put, the less and less light is able to pass so youll be left with a dot instead of singile line pattern
It has nothing to do with the act of "observation". It's the interaction with the measuring device which "forces the photon" to "make a choice". You're implying that it's the presence of a concious being that matters somehow, which is simply not the case.
I love videos like this because every time I go to the comment section, I learn something 😊
God was like, "You weren't supposed to see that!"
You just need to learn more about physics, the device you're using to observe the streams of light is interacting with them in the mechanism of its observation, thus changing the outcome of the experiment.
That’s literally just the effect of the _’measuring device’_ on the experiment.
This is the only field of science where mysticism is introduced rather than recognizing the effects of the equipment in the methods section.

The greatest evidence that what we focus on and observe is important. Our attention is infinitely valuable given its ability to do this.
That’s not accurate. It has nothing do with witnessing. It has do with measuring.
Let’s say you and I are in the same room. Here is what’s going on. We are illuminated by lights in the room. The light is coming off the bulb, reflecting off of you and entering my retina going to my brain.
Let’s say you were smaller. Let’s keep making you and smaller and smaller and smaller… there is a size below witch when I turn on the lights, you will absorb that light and jump into a different state of existence.
But if you were an electron, I turn on the lights and the photon hits the electron, the electron jumps into a different state. Here is the catch: I cannot know the electron is doing until I illuminate it. But if I illuminate it, it’s doing something different from what it was before I illuminated it. It has nothing to do with consciousness. It has to do with interacting with the object in order to make a measurement.
Also you didn’t explain what it has to with living in a simulation. That is just clickbait nonsense.
Not the act of observing, but measuring, or an interaction. It’s measuring collapses the wave-function.
