no... This is a major failure of all science communicators that get off on mystifying people despite the error being pointed out to them. You need to interact with something to obersve it. It isn't magic and you have been intentionally misled.
Haha, no I haven't. I don't believe in magic. I watch mainstream YouTube science channels, and not any "mystical" ones. PBS Spacetime, Dr Ben Miles, Quanta Magazine, Sabine Hossenfelder, etc.
So, I ask you: please design an experiment that proves the outcome is determined precisely when the detector detects the particle going through the slit, and not when a person observes the screen or a recording the detector made. You can't. You can't prove that the detector detected something until you look at the result, and until you do, for all you know, it's in a superposition. That's all I'm saying. You know, shorting your scat. Everyone knows the shorting your scat experiement.
And yes we were all misled that is the point many people are making in this thread.
Why double down you were misled and misunderstood but now you know better, that to obersve something you need to interact with it therefore changing the state it is in. The first panel is also wrong it is being observed, after the light passes the slits.
A reply to your edit: You need to work on your grammar, spelling, and punctuation. I can't understand a thing you're saying.
I'm KFC Double Downing on the double slits being doubly doubtful until you've observed the result.
Ah so you lack reading comprehension that explains a lot... the youtube channel qualifications. Anyways dude I didn't mean to insult your intellectual indentity. If my comment came accross as harsh it is because I'm annoyed at communicators.
You have a stick up your butt. I observed it.
