Nope. Particles at the quantum level have their paths altered by observation because observation requires a reflection of light particles off the observed particle and into the eye. The light particle which strikes the observed subatomic particle alters it's course by hitting it and coming back to you, thus allowing you to observe it, but does not determine the very notion of it having a course in the first place.
mrdevious Reviewed by mrdevious on . quantum mechanics and god The observer effect and its significance...... The observer effect is when the act of observing changes that which is being observed.... if you observe a particle you will change its path....and therefore in quantum mechanics, if the outcome of an event has not been observed, it exists in a state of superposition...ie. It exists in all possible states at once...... Now this raises the truly mind blowing question - that at the quantum level do all events have to be observed in order to Rating: 5
