Double slit is often misinterpreted

Have to be careful with that one

well isnt it if we observe the light or observe the results its one way and if we dont its the other way ?

i know it has something to do with us observing somehow

us observing changes the result in the same way everytime

No. If it’s actively tested as a wave it shows up as a wave. If it’s actively tested as a particle then it’s a particle

u sure?

i thought it had to do with us observing

I honk you’re thinking of some sort of schroedingers cat scenario

na

My Cat has passed the test to be a cat

Basically, according to double slit, if anything interacts with an event (and observing is considered an interaction), that event will fundamentally change in some way.

not the stupid cat thing that makes as much sense as infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters

A cat that knocks the front door

so the double slit is specifically if we observe it changes the form light takes

so when we dont look its one way and when we do look its the other way

I think that sort of stuff states that if you don’t observe it’s just kind of up in the air

Double slit doesn’t have to do with light specifically

Like it’s neither

idk

im more interested int he boats going over the curve or not lol

u guys got photoshop ?

That’s Schroedinger’s cat, Red

Oof

Double slit just states that the act of observing must change the event being observed

I slept through all my classes but history

so light is either a particle or wave depending on if we observe it or not ok

thats what i thought

Apparently people have done the double slit experiment and gotten the same results with C60, aka buckminsterfullerene. That's 60 carbon atoms!

Per molecule

idk what that means

I think we should perhaps look more into the medium light is travelling through rather than light itself

The earth is flat

@ElectroquasistaticMagnetoMan air

But my b*tch aint

@floridaswamptrash I’m happy for you

Thanks man

Well the interference patterns observed from the double slit experiment show that light and electrons experience wave/particle duality. This can be calculated with the schrodinger equation. Basically the less mass a particle has, the less likely you will be to predict its location.

C60 has a lot of mass
