Reality doesn’t exist until you look at it, pioneering quantum physics experiment finds
Reality doesn’t exist until it’s measured, at least for very small things, new research has found.
By replicating a famous experiment where an object is given a choice for how to behave, physicists found that the object doesn’t actually make its decision until it is seen. The finding proves one of the central parts of quantum theory, a branch of science that has been applied to make much of our modern technology.
Scientists gave an object a chance either to act like a wave or a particle, and looked to find out when the decision was made. While one might expect that it is either one or the other, quantum physics predicts that it will only act one way or the other when it is measured, after it has decided — and that was confirmed by the experiment …. http://www.independent.co.uk
