When observed, the electrons act as matter, but when not observed, they act as waves?
Obviously “observed” doesn’t mean recorded on an iPhone camera, but what does it mean? Is it like if we simply know the location or the velocity of the electrons, they behave differently?
The part I’m most not understanding is why the electrons behave differently. Certainly they aren’t capable of thought and recognizing they’re being observed lol
In: Physics
Being observed: You shoot photons. They interact with electrons. The electrons change the state and behavior, and don’t form the interference.
Being not observed: You leave the experiment untouched. Electrons make interference and obey wave function.
