Understanding The Double Slit Experiment

What exactly do quantum mechanics teach concerning the role of observer in reality? That things surreptitiously appear when we look at nothing? Why haven't physicists looked at nothing and created all the dollars they need? Ok it is not something even remortly similar to that. However, it is still a remarkable property of nature.Often you will find a 'magician' claim that when you are not looking at the tree, the tree does not exist! In otherwords, mere observation is more formidable than the word 'abrakadabra'. Then he says that this is what quantum mechanics teaches!! But you should be able to instantly spot a problem here. How will a physicist know that the tree was not there without observing it? The short answer is that this is not what QM teaches. To understand QM, we must close exermine the double slit experiment.Physicists use two methods of knowing to get the way round to knowing what happens 'when we are not observing'. One is INFERANCE and the other is 'direct experience'. If you see smock comming out of a tomp, you can infere that there is fire inside the tomp. But if when you enter the tomp, alas, the smock varnishes and you find no evidence of any fire, then you can guess that your act of entrance to the tomp affected the results of what you were studying. This is the true nature of what QM teaches. It leaves open the question as to whether the conscious observation putted off the fire and the smock or your body's entrance to the tomp did it or something else entirely did it, such as a god or you entered into a parallel world!THE EXPERIMENTThe physicist fires particles one at a time across two slits. One of course cannot observe an almost nonexistent particle shooting at near the speed of light. The particles must be stoped by the screen. After firing several particles across the slit, we observe something strange. A pattern form on the screen which suggest that we morons were infact firing waves all along when we know 100% that we were firing particles!It is here where the drama begines. The physicist now infere that the particle was also a strange wave that somehow went through both slits all at once! But in the sense that we could not observe the particle shooting across the slit due to its smallness and insane speed, the physicist say we did not observe which slit the particle went through (but of course we infered the 'wavicle' by observing the screen) 'Magicians' must be extra carefull at this point because it does not mean that we are not observing the slit in the usual sense of registering it in our awareness. We are! So we place a detector near one slit so it may indicate if the particle went through the slit. You must see that this will still not help us observe the particle in the usual sense. We are still inferring that the particle went through such and such slit.What then QM say is that when our measurement at the slit can tell us which slit the particle went through, the pattern on the screen will be that of a particle that went through that slit. when our measurement cannot tell us which way the particle went through, the pattern on the screen will be that of a wave that somehow went through both slits! So the act of measurement somehow creats the particle, otherwise it would be a wave! 'Measurement' here is not a registration in our awareness. It is more like streatching the tape across the object than obtaining the numbers. You can 'measure' this way even with your eyes closed, just place a ruler against the object. Since the ruler has its own adhesive forces, it affects the thing that is getting in close contact with albeit by tiny amount. It is in such sense do measurement affect the outcome of what we are measuring.NATURE OF REALITYI find QM to confirm what I beleive about reality. Yes, consciousness is a fundamental property in the universe but it is not my consciousness in particular. I say that something is there in that it can appear in an awareness. Not that something is there BECAUSE it is appearing in an awareness. The latter is more of a proof of existence than a definition.To the consciousness itself, we don't asign it a state of existence or a non existence. In is enough to talk of consciousness vs unconsciousness. Do objects exist when we are unconscious? Yes, because even when we are unconscious, we CAN wake. If on the other hand we COULD NOT be conscious, then neither can it be said that objects could exists at all. It is in this sense that existence is related to consciousness.
