For all you "measuring" people out there, we can always apply this to audio if we want :)

 
That's a great little video.

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the wave-particle duality of nature, and many more things we don't understand will continue to confound physicists for centuries [if we last that long].

The closer you observe something, the more you change what you are looking at.

I don't think it will take nearly that long.

But still we have come from far to understanding the world around us , and most of the understanding has been from measurements/ physical testing being done , theories being tested .
Even this measurement with the yet unknown outcome , has been relevant for development of understanding .

Nailed it! :)

Now, with that being said, if we measure 'it' and 'it' doesn't exist in our measurements does it make a sound??
 
Hi

I am usually flabbergasted with Quantum physics. I have been reading for mseveral yeard and have gone from astonishment to more astonishment to utter incomprehension. This experience is one of those incomprehensible .. doesn't follow any clear logic kind of things ... I do however have a one thought. At that small level of physics. How unobtrusive is the observation tool be. If it exist at a non-quantum level, doesn't disturb or introduce a disturbance that falsify the results of the observation? by its mere presence?
