minus-squareRememberTheApollo_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up97arrow-down1·9 months agoI think the meme is just poking fun at the physics behind the whole thing, but in case anyone doesn’t know: It’s called the observer effect, and it happens because: This is often the result of utilizing instruments that, by necessity, alter the state of what they measure in some manner. And particularly in the double-slit experiment: Physicists have found that observation of quantum phenomena by a detector or an instrument can change the measured results of this experiment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_effect_(physics) So for anyone who wants to have a surface understanding of the observer effect, the wiki does a fair job of the basic explanation.

minus-squareBlue_Morpho@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·8 months agoYou can see wave properties from a double slit setup with your bare eyes. Here’s someone who did it with a cardboard box. https://youtu.be/Iuv6hY6zsd0?si=TIlEJa4AJQhh8da4 If you setup a detector that measures which path the particles took, the interference pattern disappears- again something you can see with your bare eyes.
