I've been wanting to start a topic on this video, but I kept forgetting about it. Anyway, now is a good time to view it
I can't get my head around that observation distorts or effects the results. How is this?
Or maybe we should take this conversation to a new thread...

The problem isn`t the observer per se, but the means for observing. in order to observe the electron, you would have to shine some light on it. The act of shining that light changes the behaviour of the electron and distroys the interference pattern.
How about if we observed it by different means, something that doesn't involve light?
