The Double Slit Experiment Explained
Could quantum physics be hinting at a simulated reality? The Double-Slit Experiment is one of the strangest phenomena in science.
TLDR: When particles are observed, they behave like particles. But when unobserved, they act like waves - almost as if reality 'knows' it's being watched 🧐
This bizarre behavior mirrors how video games conserve computing power by only 'rendering' the parts of the world a player is looking at, rather than everything at once. In a simulation, it would make sense to only generate reality in detail when someone's observing it.
So, could our universe operate the same way? If reality only 'exists' when observed...what does this tell us about the true nature of this world, and how our consciousness operates within it? 🤔
