Particle wave duality and observer experiment.

Is this real or just some crap on youtube?

It's actually quite a good description. As for the particle-vs-wave dilemma, remember that theoretical physics is just a way of calculating the possible results

of experiments. It comes as no surprise to me that you can calculate one way in one circumstance, and another way in another.

Well why is it that when the electron was observed it stopped having a disturbance pattern like a wave?

 

I'm guessing it had something to do with whatever they were using to look at the electron ( maybe the camera was emitting something to interfere with the electron ), rather than just the electron deciding to be a massive douchebag and change the experiment up like the video says.

Yes you are right the video does not explain how you observe an electron.Any detector that is capable of detecting an electron must interfere with it?

Thats what i'm thinking. I mean why would professional scientists conduct an experiment and then when their results are unexpected they don't look for any variables they just say " Hey the electron decided to act differently"
