There is so much misinformation in the media, TV, youtube, it is unreal.

I missed this point regarding the vacuum environment for a second there, thanks. One thing I still am a little confused about. When you say that when the experiment is not observed, it acts as a wave, who is observing it acting like a wave? And when the observer sees it act like a particle...

The moon is there when we are not looking because its observed by its environment all the time. This was my problem with the double slit experience's observation. It is always observed by its environment.

So what about Schrödinger's cat? Is this merely a simplified example for the layperson?

It makes sense to me that the actual physicists who know what the math is about spend all their time doing the math rather than getting into philosophy or showmanship or vudu.

Thanks, this makes me feel a little better. But can I ask you, are you unique in this view, or are you an outlier, or is this the consensus view? How prevalent is your view in the real Physics community of scientists?

Hi Matt, can you summarize for me here please? I am extremely confused by the claims made in youtube videos regarding the double-slit experiment.

I have a few problems understanding the double slit experience and the behavior of photos due to simple observation. I am not really looking for in depth explanation here (great if you have it) but more for links or references to read more about it. Here are some questions: 1. What does...
