 status though. It's not like someone can shoot a bullet at you and mid-flight you get to decide where it goes

I'm not sure there actually is an explanationTrippy. I'm goign to have to look into an explanation for this...

I'm not sure there actually is an explanation

quantum mechanics doesn't make any sense. it's all about probabilities and uncertainty.Religion
Nah this is too cool NOT to be explained. If watching something "changes" what it does then...well nah that just don't make sense.
Please do correct me if I'm wrong my knowledgable brothers, but isn't the reason the position of a particle changes as we observe it simply a result of observing it being a non-passive act?
To see the particle, we need to shoot electrons at it in an electron microscope, so that they are reflected off the particle back onto a film (producing an image), but in the process of reflecting electrons of the particle you end up inevitably moving the particle.
Therefore, it's not "you observing" the particle that changes it, but you shooting shyt at it - which will of course move it.
No mystery here.
Personally I don't put much stock in theories.
 
	I bet if

said, "I theorize that I can make you bust a nut" you'd "put some stock in it".

 Quit ruining things with common sense.....the religious folks like to get worked up about quantum mechanics because they think it gives them an infinitismal hope of sneaking their God of the gaps in
