"Observer Effect" Simplified! 🤯 #science #physics #space #universe

people there's the observer effect and is your Consciousness affecting the experiment oh my gosh let's hand it over to the new age folks and let them solve it and this is a complete misunderstanding of quantum physics and so when you explain it and you say well we are big macroscopic objects if you're want to take a picture of us turn on the lights and we take a picture but the smaller you are no longer are you so immune to the consequences of being illumin at by photons mhm that's right right and so if I'm a particle and I said I wonder what the particle is doing let me take a picture and then you turn on the light the particle's doing something else yep so there's a limit to how much you can know about the system just because the act of observing it changes what it is you think it's doing so that made complete sense to me but that's a foundational tenant of quantum physic
