The video I watched implied, I thought, the measuring device being used was some sort of camera or similar device(high powered microscope). I believe I felt this way because their claim was when observed the electron reacted. My mind did not substitute the word measure for observe.
When we deal with the quantum world, there is no such thing as direct observation. We could bounce stuff onto what we want to "observe", we could have them fly through a cloud chamber, we could even smash them together and detect the radiation.
So, it is not the fact that the electrons are acting differently because of interaction/resistance or force that most find 'queer' We have known for years when some type of force is put on an object it will react. Rather it is the self expression, the way the electron reacts to the interaction that is queer.
Huh?
