Little bit of a fix, atoms are not mostly empty space we now know this. And also the double split experiment isn't determined by human consciousness it's determined by measuring it. You get the same result if a robot carries out the experiment that you would if a human is observing it.

Woud you not have to observe what the robot measured though?

@@EmmetCromie sure, in the form of the data it recorded, that is to say, either it was a particle it recorded or it was a wave.

@@EmmetCromie you could probably successfully make that argument in the sense that human consciousness created the robot but it's not directly responsible for the observation. The robot would be making the observation and recording the data which a human would then review. It's not so much the observation that causes the effect it's the measurement.

When you don't observe electrons going through the double slit experiment the appear as particles. By not observing the electrons in double slit expreiment they behave as waves. But in order to find out how they behave at all one has observe them in both cases. Also, where is the definition of time here?

To illustrate this concept, let us consider a specific scenario. Suppose we use a photon source to detect which slit the electron passes through. When the photon interacts with the electron, it imparts momentum to the electron, altering its trajectory. This disturbance disrupts the interference pattern, as the electron can no longer maintain its wave-like behavior. The act of measurement introduces uncertainty into the system and forces the electron to behave as a particle. Importantly, it is not the act of observation itself that causes the collapse of the wave function, but rather the interaction between the observed system (electron) and the measurement apparatus. This distinction is crucial in understanding the observer effect. If the measurement apparatus is designed in a way that minimizes the disturbance to the electron, such as using weak measurements or delayed choice experiments, it is possible to preserve the interference pattern to some extent. The act of observing or measuring an electron in the double slit experiment affects its behavior by collapsing its wave function and forcing it to behave as a particle. This phenomenon, known as the observer effect, highlights the delicate nature of quantum systems and the fundamental differences between the macroscopic and microscopic worlds. The interaction between the electron and the measurement apparatus disrupts the wave-like behavior, leading to the disappearance of the interference pattern. Understanding the observer effect is crucial in unraveling the mysteries of quantum mechanics and its implications for information processing and technology
