What if the measurement device in the double slit experiment were a light year away? - Lemmy.world

In the famous double slit experiment, setting up a measurement device that watches which slit an electron passes through changes the eventual outcome on the screen, causing the wave function to collapse. If the measurement device were a light year away and were precise enough to “zoom in” and see which slit the electrons went through, what would happen on the final screen? Surely, if the measurement device were off, then the electrons would behave like waves and not particles. An interference pattern would appear on the final screen as there is no observer. On the other hand, if someone a light year away turned on the measurement device, this far-away person (and the measurement device) wouldn’t know which slit the electrons went through until a year later. And, the electrons going through the slits wouldn’t “know” they are being observed because no information (ie the measurement device turning on) can travel faster than the speed of light.

YSK: Buddy Icons can be set as your profile picture on Lemmy for that sweet, sweet nostalgia. - Lemmy.world

For example, on my profile picture. Find them on Coolbuddy or some other site and save as a webp.

How do you guys feel about buddy icons on Lemmy? - Lemmy.world

For example, my profile picture. Lemmy already reminds me of early internet, and it gives me nostalgia to use them.

I'm on my fourth playthrough of Link's Awakening Remake for the Switch - Lemmy.world

This is such a great all-around Zelda game and isn’t a huge time commitment either. It’s very linear but there’s plenty of random mini games and shops to explore. It also is a very special and unique Nintendo game and incorporates an early looking version of Kirby and has chain chomps from Mario. The art direction is “toy style” and it’s incredibly polished. It’s really one of those remakes where they didn’t cut any corners.

Lemmy is being filled with ragebait and doombait from new accounts. This is what drove me and others away from Reddit. - Lemmy.world

Don’t just upvote something because it makes you annoyed and you want more people to see it - perhaps we need to downvote ragebait and doombait when we see it so that the platform doesn’t become a depressing echo chamber.
