Here, I will be linguistically describing physics, which is to say the models I will be conveying will not be mathematic models of physics as we are “traditionally” used to.
OBSERVATION OF QUANTUM PARTICLES
In the double slit experiment performed by physicist Thomas Young in 1801 as a test to see whether or not light is composed of particles. We could then logically assume that firing a single electron (which composes matter) through the double slit would make a matter like pattern which would be two matter bands on the receiver. However, an interference pattern (as you get with waves) is what has been observed. So what is the explanation of such phenomena?
There have been many attempts by physicists to narrow down what it could be. They went through many possibilities of what could make the bare bone particles of matter act as waves. So, to see which slit the particle is actually going through they put a device that is sensitive to radio waves (which electrons emit) near both slits to see which slit the single electron was going through. They found, that when observed and calculated, the electron returned to acting as matter would.
Does matter act accordingly to the perceiver? By the presence of a thought process used to understand what is being perceived, limits the infinite potentiality of matter on a quantum level. As we have seen with the electron, it produces an interference pattern (which would imply infinite potential) when not monitored. If electrons compose all matter in existence, is it by the presence of the human observer that shapes the world humankind perceives as tangible perceptual reality?
The human brain is processing around two thousands bits of information out of a possible four hundred billion in the human environment. If we look at what has become evident in neuroplasticity, it is within human capability to change the structure and function of the human brain. Is it in human capability to change the structure of reality, and how it is perceived? How much power do we really have over our surroundings?
