Question by twin city: a question on the double slit and electron experiment?
.it wasn’t until they placed the Electronic detector device to measure the electron did the wave collapse. this being so, physicists say that consciousness is what is capable of changing the possibilities into reality. yet even before they placed the device in place, were they not “observing” the electron all through the experiment? why did not the wave collapse then?

Answer by Mark C
Actually, physicist don’t say that about consciousness. Some nutty new-age loons misrepresenting physics do. Actual physicists say a measurement collapses the wave function.
