Ok, it's the double slit experiment. I was trying to fit Loss into this for a couple of minutes.
a reward for your efforts
i understood that reference
It's the same deal as Endermen, isn't it? If you don't observe them, they scatter; if you do observe them, their probability function (and the player avatar) collapses.
...wait, does it mean pumpkins are wave enforcement devices?
guys am i high or is this making a lot of sense 😳
high spujb im hi
i’m high rn too hi kate
That's not how the double slit experiment works 😐
use this as an educational opportunity then and post the truth so that we can all grow ! why are u keeping it to yourself
A notable example of the observer effect occurs in quantum mechanics, as demonstrated by the double-slit experiment. Physicists have found that observation of quantum phenomena by a detector or an instrument can change the measured results of this experiment. Despite the "observer effect" in the double-slit experiment being caused by the presence of an electronic detector, the experiment's results have been interpreted by some to suggest that a conscious mind can directly affect reality.[3] However, the need for the "observer" to be conscious is not supported by scientific research, and has been pointed out as a misconception rooted in a poor understanding of the quantum wave function ψ and the quantum measurement process.[4][5][6] Wikipedia
So, essentially, an interaction is described as 'observation'?
Yes, how I understand it is that conscious observation is basically a subset of technical observation so like all conscious observation is observation, but not all observation must be conscious. So in this context, “observation” means any interaction that extracts information from a system, like a photon hitting a detector or a particle colliding with another. Conscious observation is just the special case where a human (or other conscious being) receives that information, but the physics works the same without anyone watching.
Imagine if particles were like magic cars on a highway where you can’t know the exact speed unless a radar gun pings them and even if the cop’s not looking, the screen’s broken, or her eyes are closed, it still counts because it’s the ping itself that matters.
Raytracing in Minecraft?
Also, the changing vertical size is a simplified representation, it's more like changes in brightness.
Unfortunately I don't think current raytracing techniques incorporate the quantum nature of light
The first step to creation is to identify the gap in reality!
Very funny, if you completely misunderstand the concept of the double slit experiment.
bruh it's a meme on a shitpost sub, it's allowed to just be funny 😭😭
killjoy. i understand the concept but i also find this funny because i know how to have fun :)
Clearly made with stable ~~diffusion~~ diffraction.
E: can’t all be winners.
Is this some clever pun about interference and 'diffusion' that I don't quite understand?
It was supposed to be, until I conflated diffusion with diffraction. So it goes.
Really? What makes you say that?
