Literally exactly how it works, too.

Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

"Observation" or "measurement" actually means interaction. We literally can't measure anything without interacting with it. If you place something at the slits which is able to detect a photon going through, it can only do so by interacting with it.
The common way seems to be that the passing particle induces a tiny electric current in a wire loop. Obviously, that takes energy away from the particle (that energy is now in the movement of one or more electrons in the wire). And that means, its wave function in that very moment is one locational probability of 1 - it is collapsed.
Yeah no. Many scientists are crawling all over YouTube on this one and explaining it the other way. That it even reversed the results when going back to observe it. Like changing time. I don’t see any of you people calling that shit out as hard as you’re doing here.
It’s funny cuz even if someone states they know exactly what’s going on here (as if everyone else is stupid and misunderstands it) it becomes the biggest heated debate between all the eggheads in the room.
no one agrees on what is going on here.
Being a rando online Calling everyone else stupid or referring to a deeply debated subject such as this one is just simply misunderstood doesnt make you the smartest person in the room. It certainly doesn’t make you appear to know what is going on to explain it yet again in yet a different way that contradicts scientists who do show their face and names who have explained it the other way.
