The most astounding experiment of quantum physics in recent scientific discovery is probably the double-slit experiment.
It is the experiment that shows the entire universe exists by being experienced.
To describe the double slit experiment, think of a tennis ball shooting machine that shoots out tennis balls that travels across space and hits the net.
Now think of the ball shoot machine being shrunk to the size of the quantum level where instead of shooting out tennis balls, it now shoots out extremely tiny particles called electrons. Those electrons travel through vacuum and hit a wide screen which marks their positions.
Imagine another smaller screen with single vertical slit in the middle that is placed between the particle launcher and the wide screen. Some of the electrons will pass through the slit and hit the wide screen behind it and some will be blocked.
What we will see on the wide screen is a vertical column marking the area where the electrons have hit it.
Next, instead of a single slit we use double slits. So now the electrons can pass through either one of those slits to hit the wide screen behind.
What we are supposed to see is two vertical column marking the area where the electrons will hit on the wide screen. But the strange and amazing thing is, we do not see that. Instead what we see are several vertical columns a small distance apart from each other appearing on the wide screen.
Imagine a swimming pool with a screen with double slits in the middle and a wide screen at the end. When a ball is dropped into the water in front of the double slit screen, it causes a circular wave that ripples outwards in all directions. The wave pass through the double slits and split into two smaller waves. As the two waves continue to travel, they simultaneously reinforce and cancel out each other at certain angles.
What you see on the wide screen are several vertical columns each being a small distance apart from the other. The columns show the part where the waves reinforce each other while the spaces show where they cancel each other out.
So the question is why does the electron behave like a wave when it passes through double slits?
The theory is that the electron splits into two when it reaches the first screen and travels through both slits simultaneously. It then interferes with itself thereby causing a wave effect on the wide screen. In quantum physics, this is called the principle of nonlocality where something exist in two places at one time. It is not restricted to one location in time and space but it becomes omnipresent.
So to find out if that was the case, a small device was placed in front of the double slits screen so that we could observe what happens when the electron passes through it.
The result we got was strange beyond normal explanation. This time what we saw on the wide screen were two vertical columns instead of the several ones we saw at first.
What this means is that when we are looking, it behaves like a particle. When we are not looking, it behaves as a wave. A wave is a vibration or energy.
The truth is, everything in the universe is ultimately Energy, and Energy is influenced by Mind. Something only appears as matter when it is being observed.
Quantum physicists talk about electrons, or events being potential, rather than actual physical entities. So that there are various potentials, basically until somebody looks, and then it sort of forces the universe to make a determination about which potential is going to be actualized.
All of existence is fundamentally an unlimited quantum field of energy, a sea of infinite possibilities waiting to happen.
Consciousness collapses the wave function into actual particles that exist in space and time. Consciousness experiences energy as matter.
Consciousness is the energy that influences energy. All energy is actually consciousness, therefore it is consciousness influencing itself.
The observer is not apart from the observation. The experimenter is not apart from the experiment.
The observer simultaneously plays a part in creating the reality he is observing. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle of consciousness states that no pure measurement is possible without creation. Physicists who deal in quantum mechanics state: “You cannot (objectively) observe something without changing it in the process.”
This experiment also shows that God remains unmanifest unless you participate. Without God, we cannot. Without us, God would not. We are all co-creators of reality with God. God moves only when there is intention or prayer. Faith is focus.
Everything is energy and energy is mental. The mind creates and controls reality.
Our thoughts have the very power to shape our reality. This is how the Law of Attraction works. What we focus on most of the time, we get. The observer creates reality simply by observing.
