I don't understand how that's so confusing. so if the particle is Okay, I understand what your saying now. Nonetheless, it is still a really weird finding that i'll have to dive deeper into. Anyways, Thanks for the insight!

If you look up the double slit experiment, you'll see that particles are in superposition, meaning that they're literally recorded as potential outcomes until they are observed and recorded. Your perception of the particles literally changes the whole wave function. This is where Schrodinger got...

@ZapperZ obviously this can be seen as controversial, however it was a legitimite question and isn't purely philosophical. I meant if a particle is in superposition until observed, and the wave function is just every possible outcome, then would that make the particle an independent variable...

you put a cat in a box with radiation And a poison vile, and the radiation has a 50% chance of killing the cat. Before you open the box and actually measure the results the cat is both dead and alive simultaneously. This is how subatomic particles work, as discovered from the double slit...
