Quote by Lara Santoro
The realization, early in high school, that a particle behaved differently if observed or left alone.
Summary
This quote refers to a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics known as the observer effect. It describes how the behavior of a subatomic particle can be altered just by the act of observing it. In high school, the individual came to the realization that particles exhibit distinct behavior when they are being observed compared to when they are not. This discovery highlights the profound influence that observation can have on the very nature of reality at the quantum level.
