And observing (interfering with) an entangled particle will "interfere" with its twin.

Isn't it about time someone made a thread on the subject of the observer effect and double slit experiments? Since the actual topic presented by alienview didn't really go anywhere. It was educational but the intelligent design angle was a flop.

Be our guest - Start a thead on " the observer effect and double slit experiment" - Probably should go in a part of the
forum devoted to science. [Please let un know if you start one]
As far as my post: "How does Evolution explain Male and Female - Why are there two sexes Creating Genetic Variations ?"
Where would you expect it to go? - Just because no satisfactory answer was found doesn't mean it is not a question
worh asking - Yes, for now, and given no other explanaiton, we might accept the science based answers claiming there
might be a biochemical reason for the two sex matrix.
And yes, the intelligent design hypothesis seems unsatisfactory - Mainly becuase you need an intelligent mind
to understand intelligent design - And I serioulsly questino the intelligence of the Human mind.

The endless depths of stupidity that can be explored by the human mind are only another testament to it's vast capabilities

Some might find this interesting:
Reproduction is so primitive and fundamental a function of vital organisms that the mechanism by which it is assured is highly complex and not yet clearly understood. It is not necessarily connected with sex, nor is sex necessarily connected with reproduction.
— Havelock Ellis Psychology of Sex (1933)
Still genetic variations, and its experimental nature needs a field, a format, to play out - Maybe sex is just a
convenient way for the experiment to continue........And now that Man begins to control the experiment
is it time to set goals ?

If we were dealing with the real world [what does that mean?] - there might be a solution to this debate
- But I've yet to see what a real world means in real time [what does that mean?]
So up jumps Charles Everett claiming there are 'Many Worlds' - No right or wrong World - Many Worlds.
If there are many worlds there are many observers - And many different observations.
And there then comes many effects of the observations - Which observer in which world is affecting which observation
in which way? - And [being that we accept meaning as having meaning, right?]. which observations and whose
interpretations shall we accept?
A more mundane intelligence might be prone to dismiss this debate as meaningless
- Does any of this really matter? - in the functioning of the so called real world and its accepted reality?
But if this universe we exist in has any meaning at all, and we have any meaning at all
- Then the debate must go on - It is not by choice that you are questioning the reality of the World you live in
and its observation - You are condemned or blessed to do so [depending on how you look at it] - You have no choice
- The reality you exist in is begging to understand itself.
That said the speculation becomes that it is neither a wave nor a particle - It is something else entirely and you
are being misled - Like trying to interpret a ghost - Some see the ghost, others say it is something else,
or does not really exist.
So is it observation that is affecting the reality being observed? - Or, rather is it that the reality being observed
is ghost like in nature and defies andy complete observation?
The more we look at this so called 'double slit' experiment the more illusory it starts to appear.
- sort of like trying to explain why a mirror shows an apparently exact image of the person looking into itl'
That is an illusion - the image you see in a mirror is far from exact - it is illusry.
And the double slit experimnet is also a magical illusion - It only mirrors the nature of light
by trying to create a distinction between particles and waves - Turn up the light and show us something
brighter -

The problem is we don't seek to understand, we seek to control. We want to make something happen instead of merely knowing it's happening. We can't just be aware of a creator, we have to control it and exploit it.

How do you know this? - You read a computer screen and jump to the conclusion that it is a 'Human' ?
As far as I know I'm talking to my computer which is playing a game.
Are you seriously going to tell me that you are a 'Human' and not my computer talking to me?
Prove it!
