Comment on The real double-slit quantum eraser they don't want you to know about!
TWeaK@lemm.ee 1 year agoidk why so many people were having conniption fits over it.
It’s because it isn’t clear from the meme that the monkey is looking specifically at the interaction at the slits.

It’s a preeeeeetty clear joke reference to the use of “observe” for the behavior changing if the photons are measured/interacted with

It’s clear he’s observing something, but all too easy for the viewer to think the monkey is merely observing the pattern on the screen at the end. It also doesn’t help that there are a bunch of slight variations on the double slit experiment, like those listed in this post.
If the monkey was at 90 degrees to the experiment, looking at the slits only side on, then it might be clearer - though I’m not sure how you could draw that lol.

sigh bud if you’re not good at picking up context clues then I can’t help you. This conversation is going nowhere so I’m gonna stop responding
