lol don't assume I know what you do, I am not faking humility i really am this stupid
basically I am trying to find out if its something emitted from the (or a) device which causes the wave to collapse into a particle
the "essence" of the rumor is that even when the (or a) device isn't...
okay, so with the semiconductor photodetector.. what is that exactly?
did you say that even if its turned off, that the wave still turns/collapses into a particle?
I heard that if a measuing device is turned off, but is put into a position that, if turned on, would still be able to measure.. that this will still turn a wave into a particle
