that when you observe a subatomic particle, it acts differently than if you don't observe it, right?

So you create basically the act of conscious observation.

Like if I, you know, if I look at that ashtray, the ashtray does exactly what it does if I don't look at it, right?

In the macroscopic world, conscious observation doesn't change anything, right?

At the

In the subatomic world, it changes everything, right?

So a subatomic particle, an electron, is in all positions as a statistical probability.

It's in all positions until you observe it and then it's in one position, right?

If you fire a photon at two slits in a metal plate with some photographic film on the other side to mark where the photon hits,

If you fire the photon at a plate with two slits, it's the famous double slit experiment.

Fire the photon at two slits and actively monitor it with a photon detector while it's moving.

It will go through one slit and hit the strike plate on the far side with a signature of passage through one slit.

If you fire a photon through two slits and don't monitor it,

it simultaneously goes through both slits and leaves a signature on the other side of having done so, right?

In other words, and this is one of the deepest mysteries of existence, right?

At the quantum level,

Our act of observation creates the reality that we are observing, and then if we don't observe it, it's another reality, right?

So given that deep and unresolvable mystery, is it possible?

In the sort of like the electrons in all places at once until we watch it and then it's in one place, in that sort of basic sense of a profound mystery at the quantum level, is it possible that there's an equivalent mystery around biological death, the existence of consciousness, which people still don't understand, right?

They can't even define what it is exactly, right?
