Okay, I am not sure why this was in Creative Speculation, but it must have been due to the other two videos, which I have not watched. This is pure science, actually, but I would rather post it here than Science. I am sure most of us have heard of the double slit experiment and the observor effect (whereby merely observing a particle going through two slits changed its behavior). But this is a very simple explanation of the experiment and the outcome. It is because of this and similar results that the "Shit New Age Girls Say" video included "I love quantum physics."

Here is the entire Creative Speculation thread.

But, I would like to highlight this particular video.
