Quantum Physics Double Slit Experiment Simplified

For anyone who is interested in quantum mechanics but not clear on the idea of the dual nature of light this is an incredibly clear and effective explanation of it I happened across.

    The act of observing changed the outcome. If this happens at the quantum level, I wonder what effect our observing has on our perception of the things around us? We know each person perceives things differently; as an individual. Are we having an effect on the things around us simply by observing?

    I watched this video about a year or so ago, it sparked more interest in quantum mechanics for me personally.

    It leads on to the notion we create our world we live in throuhg observation alone.

    I kinda agree. Perhaps there truly isn't anything but mind?

    I don't think you can transpose quantum uncertainty to our everyday experience.

    felt like academic brainwashing imo.

    You guys should look at @ClearLightMind's stuff. Its kind of long and scholorly but he's very educated on the topic and makes a very compeling argument for the observer having an effect in our everyday world.
