I’m horrible at math and could never pass for a physicist, but I love the concepts in Quantum Physics and reading about the theory. I especially love the theory of complementarities. Electrons behave as a wave or a particle based on what’s being measured. The observer becomes part of the experiment and outcomes can change based on the observer. It reminds us of how interconnected everything is and begs the question, who observed the first quantum event?
I also like the possibilities in the observer affecting the event; a person could hold sway over the outcome of a seemingly uncontrollable event. If the observer can enhance the probability of the quantum outcome, perhaps the observer can affect other things. Probability enhancement: it sounds like magic and science all in one. I like that. I feel bad for Schrödinger’s cat, though poor thing trapped in the box for so long.
