It’s refreshing to still see actual people making videos like these.

Just once in my life I would like to hear someone mention 'black holes <b>without</b> adding the phrase <i>"not</i> <i>even</i> <i>light."</i>

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqQ2LRntpuk&t=811">13:31</a> IIRC the reason why a particle reacts to being measured/percieved is because in order to measure it or percieve it, other particles/photons would have to be bounced off the particle in question and bounce back to the detectors. These collisions cause changes to the measured particle.

Amazing! Veritasium and now Aperture making videos on a very difficult to understand topic. Knowledge is truly within everyone's reach nowadays

It’s not the observer that cause the wave function to collapse, it’s interacting with the particle, because for the detector to detect the photon it has to interact with it , so In effect the only way for us to observe is to interact with the particle, it’s that interaction, not the observation of the interaction.

Moral of the story is every thing in this universe is getting watched by something, never ending , quantum physics
