Can Electrons Really Pop Into Existence When We Observe Them?

Electrons can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior, a phenomenon tied to the principles of quantum mechanics. The act of observation can influence the outcome of experiments, but it does not alter the fundamental nature of the electrons themselves. The idea that electrons "pop into existence" upon observation is a misinterpretation of quantum behavior. When not observed, the state of electrons is not definitively known, leading to uncertainty in their existence. Understanding these concepts is crucial for grasping the complexities of quantum physics.

I heard that electrons pop into existence at the mear action of us putting our attention onto them. And when we look away, they are gone.

Sounds strange.. can anyone please further explain.

If you "look" away, how do you know they are gone?

Sometimes an electron can "behave" like a wave and sometimes it can "behave" like a particle but it is always an electron. Observation, depending on how you do it can interfere with the experiment...but its not going to make the nature of what you are observing change.

I'm just knocking about the boards and, by far, not an expert...but I'm fairly confident that I'm right in this reply.

Cheers!
 

Thread 'One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics'

I am slowly going through the book 'What Is a Quantum Field Theory?' by Michel Talagrand. I came across the following quote: One does not" prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics. The ultimate test for a model is the agreement of its predictions with experiments. Although it may seem trite, it does fit in with my modelling view of QM. The more I think about it, the more I believe it could be saying something quite profound. For example, precisely what is the justification of...
