I was hoping this would be posted. ๐
Dude... she went through both slits at the same time!
After being observed? Eeeeeewww...
EDIT: Love your Catch-22 username.
Thanks, it's good to finally have someone
observe it
He's hoping for an entanglement, but his girlfriend is running an interference pattern.
So the unobserved quantum states observe the observer? Every one of them, all the time? I KNEW I wasn't crazy!
Ok this made me laugh out loud. Good job.
Can 2 observers simultaneously see different things?
I believe the measuring apparatus "sees" the outcome and causes the collapse of the wave function. Then the results would look the same to 2 human observers. Apparently there's some debate amongst physicists on what constitutes an "observer".
If there's anything to see the quantum state has collapsed. The universe is the observer, an emitted photon is an example of an event that will be observed
That is why only tiny things and things near absolute zero exhibit quantum effects
This comment might be simplified too far to be close enough to accurate. I don't know the complex explanation, I'm not skilled in the right sorts of maths
Don't worry, your other selves from parallel universes will look at the other women
