And, like, we have the concept of significant digits. If every mL is important, you should use more accurate measurements and present the decimals. But for most cases, rounding to the nearest whole is good enough.

seem. A mere metaobservation.

Well, sure, no one can make you believe anything if you don't want to

Put detectors on both slits - photon acts as a particle, goes through one of the slits, nothing happens to the other Leave the detectors off the slits, watch the screen behind them - photon acts as a wave, passes through *both* slits, leaves an interference pattern with itself
-
Waves behave like particles. They're shy when we look at them lol

It's too early for Heisenberg.... need more coffee...

tbh I've never understood how a "detector" at each slit is supposed to work without *absorbing* the photon, not just 'observing' it. I assumed it was a Maxwell's demon type thought experiment, not something you could physically set up
-
(getting the pattern when you can distinguish individual photons at the target is sufficient to be "spooky", it's just the 'detectors at slits' version that seems impossible.)

Depends on your interpretation of QM. Under Many-Worlds and others it is explained through decoherence instead
-
The question of whether the spookiness of the Copenhagen interpretation is a weirder thing to have to accept than infinite alternate universes is one of those intractable philosophical things

Can you now explain the delayed-choice quantum eraser experiment? I can't watch another YouTube video
