Oh wow, I canât believe that outerwilds has successfully taught me the concept of quantum observation.

it isnât scientifically accurateâŚ

Are you sure? I donât think the Nomai would stand for scientific inaccuracyâŚ

what the bleep do we know just fucking ruined any chance at lay people understanding dick about quantum physics for at least a generation

Quantum mechanics is not complicated. It just appears complicated because everyone chooses to interpret it in a way that is inherently contradictory. One of the fundamental postulates of quantum mechanics is that it is time-symmetric, called unitarity, but almost everyone for some reason assumes it is time-asymmetric. This contradiction leads them to have to compartmentalize this contradiction in their head, which then leads to a bunch of a contradictory conclusions, and then they invent a bunch of nonsense to try and make sense of those contradictions, like collapsing wave functions, a multiverse, cats that are both dead and alive simultaneously, particles in two places at once, nonlocality, etc. But thatâs all entirely unnecessary if you just consistently interpret the theory as time-symmetric. This has been shown in the literature for decades, called the Two-State Vector Formalism, yet itâs almost entirely ignored in the popular discourse for some reason.

How does that explain photons acting like a wave or a particle depending on whether they were observed or not in the double slit experiment?
