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.
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.
I mentioned my sources of science news specifically because you accused me of being misled by... somebody. So fuck off with your mockery of me for trying to disuade you of that notion.
This started as a joke, and you're just being an ass.
You have a stick up your butt. I observed it.
