I kinda found this more useful than the other videos. I don't know if the creepy cat made the difference, or if it was just a very slow an easy to follow demonstration.

Two detectors, each of them in front of just one of the slits. The detector, a crystal, spits out a photon if a particle passes through it.
The particle continues through the known slit, while the photon goes through a series of mirrors, randomly passing through or getting reflected, and thus,
erasing the knowledge of which slit the particle went through.
As the particle hits the resulting screen, it is either a wave or a cancelled wave depending on where the photon ended up in the detector, since one detector could have gotten the result of the other detector, it is impossible for the particle to know which slit it went through.
The result is only an interference pattern if the knowledge wasn't looked at, AND the detector got the..... Oh, look at the cute cat! -

Hope you are doing well

Why am I not getting the interference pattern on the wall?
The black line is the wall, without any light on it. The orange thing is a laser, and the red dot is the photon particle. The double-slit experiment is in blue and is self-explanatory.

Well, maybe it's because you use a laser, and it's supposed to always send photons in a straight line, so they land on the wall between the two slits. But if the slits are close enough to each other (and to the laser beam), due to the uncertainty principle the photons should be able to move through them, and you should see the interference pattern. So it's all a question of setting up the distances between the elements of the experiment correctly.

Best click-bait title I have come up with so far:
How My Camera captures light - At the Speed of Light!

You reached bat before 5000 posts, which is crazy
I was actually looking at your post count and thought, I need to pay attention to when you get bat, and I saw you were already bat, and by moving the cursor over your user name on desktop, I could see you reached it 20 minutes ago (now 1 hour ago), so crazy

@Woohoo Congratulations, BFFFF!

What is the 31th decimal of PI? @LCpony417

Actually, this is one thing I don't know. I don't know past the 100th decimal of pi. But I can assure you that the 100th decimal of pi is 9. So, if it rounds, then 9 becomes 0 and the 99th decimal increases.
To be more specific, the last 4 decimals of pi are 0679. So, if the 101st decimal is greater than 4, then 0679 turns into 0680. But I am pretty sure this won't happen.
Therefore, I am pretty sure that the 101st decimal of pi is lower than 5. Otherwise, the last two decimals before the 101st wouldn't be 7 and 9.

Just wishing you a good luck at whatever project you are currently working on
-
Thank you!
Today, I did make a little bit of progress into my game. And by progress, I mean I slightly figured out a few things and stuff. But the thing is that I'm currently using my laptop. And if I want this game to have a good quality, then I'm gonna have to finish it on my computer when everything will be almost done. Basically, I will move the project from my laptop to my computer.
After finishing this game, I'm not gonna make any more games for a while. I'm only gonna share on the forums games that I have already made. I will probably make new games after the winter ends. Until then, I need to rest for a bit.
Of course, I will still continue my school work and I will still watch MLP episodes. However, I'm not gonna use Scratch for a little while after the game is finished.

The Flintstones can’t be a modern Stone Age family anymore. They don’t have Social Media like our modern world.

Okay, running into a (programmer) YouTube video which tries to do a "Wave Function Collapse". Now, not only is the YouTuber annoying, but the whole concept of using such a complicated subject and then just end up doing a simple array sorts (daily programming stuff to me), really makes me think if these things are over-complicated for a reason?
Are the difficult Einstein and Schrödinger stuff just complicated to keep normal people out?
I program things daily that when explained complicatedly becomes difficult to understand (for other people), but in the right context, are easy and quite useful (to those other people).I have run into a few other over-complicated things the last weeks which in the right contexts are super easy. And when I say easy, I mean, in the end, the explanations usually turn into "we do this because we can't do it" or "the other solutions have problems too". And the solution is usually similar if not exactly the same as the easy way other people have been doing it since dawn of time, only expressed as a complicated thing.

I'm not a physicist, but from what I understand, these equations are in fact quite simple, but their solutions are complicated in some cases. Btw, I don't believe such thing as a "wave function collapse" exists, as I explained in my blog I believe in "backward causality", which means the fact of measuring something causes (back in time) the wave function to be already "collapsed" from the start (it is a version of "superdeterminism").
Also I agree that some people have a natural talent for making simple things look overly complicated...

Are you also having problems editing your profile?
(I have seen new members having problems with editing their profiles lately)

Yes... But, the thing about having friends is...
I so agree with this
Someone needs to fix that.
