Hello there,
I have a question about the double-slit experiment and conscioussnes.
Excuse me if I don't formulate things right and might come over as a total fool for asking this (English is not my native language and i don't study physics).
I just saw this video: <Moderator's note: link removed>
It states the observation of a conscious being affects the behavior of a quantum-scale particle (wave-particle duality). Complementary to this the man in the video states that the conscious part is essential in the proces of changing/determening the behavior.
My common sense and leading physicists of today tell me this is not true and are attributing the change to the "brutal" act of measuring.
However considering the confusion around this subject I was wondering if there is any experiment that proves my common sense and leading physicists of today are right.
My question in short is: Is there a double slit-experiment done with all of the measuring equipment in place and all of the equipment activated but without the conscious observer?
This way proving the results are the same and the light/matter behaves like a particle with or without a conscious observer.
I just want to clarify this for myself since there is a lot of debate about this on the internet.
Thank you in advance
