  • Basically the sensor is interacting with the quantum particle by measuring where it is before the slit. This collapses the wave function of the particle, causing it to appear at one point in space. Since the particle is collapsed to a point before the slit, it travels through only one of the slits and impacts the screen. Since it is just a single point particle now, there is no wave to interfere with the particle and create multi-line wave pattern, so we just see two straight lines on the screen that match up with the slits.

    The sensor performing the measurement is the observer in this case. No living creature is needed to observe the particle to make it collapse. It’s simply just, quantum particles are just wave functions up until the point that they have to collapse to a particle because it has interacted with something (a screen or a sensor or anything). That is about the limit of my understanding at least

    For me it’s:

    Step 1: Google

    Step 2: Open stackoverflow link

    Step 3: Read a bunch of people yelling at OP about why their question/issue is dumb and that they need to Google more.

    Step 4: Find what might possibly be an answer to the question but it is written in a way that leaves out half the knowledge I would need to correctly interpret the answer because this person just assumes I know everything there is to know about programming already. Meaning I would never have need to ask the question in the first place, duh.

    Step 5: Leave computer in disgust and maybe try rubbing two sticks together to make a fire that I can use to burn everything down…

    And that is why Linux isn’t as widely distributed as Windows. Linux is great, if you know what you are doing. But most of the world doesn’t have the time needed to learn Linux well enough to avoid major fuck-ups like this.

    Linux gives you a wall of text when all the user did (at least what they thought they did) is say install this program. The system ask “Are you sure?” And the user is like “Yes, just do it!” I can’t imagine anything on Windows doing that lol.

    I like Linux and I think it’s great, but I can certainly understand why the majority of people are wary of it.
