  1. That was a statement about science, kid. You are simply wound up in all the bullshit that you have heard about quantum mechanics and you are not smart enough to cut through the crap yourself. In reality it's all very simple.

  2. It's being shown that way because the people who make these videos don't have the slightest clue about physics proper.

  3. There is no photon before observation. You need to pay attention to what nature tells you, not the bullshit in YouTube videos.

  4.  @chadkincham  Then there are plenty of photons in my retina.

  5.  @chadkincham  That was lame.

  6.  @chadkincham  Matter isn't made of energy. Energy is a property. We teach that in high school, but it doesn't seem to stick. Maybe you can remember this: If you have a "red car", then "red" is a property of the car, but it's not made out of red. That's in contrast to a "clay brick", where the brick is, indeed, made out of clay. The way physicists use the word "energy" is the way "red" is being used in "red car", not the way "clay" is being used in "clay brick". Yes, photons are energy, they are not corporal objects. Quanta in general are not corporal objects. An electron isn't an object, either. It's a property of the physical vacuum that denotes a combination of energy, momentum, spin, electric charge and lepton number. Until that combination passes from one system (emerging from the physical vacuum) to another system (also emerging from the physical vacuum), "an electron" doesn't exist. If you can remember that, then you will be able to cut through mountains of bullshit about quantum mechanics.

  7.  @chadkincham  You are not very good as an amateur physicist, I am afraid. :-) That energy and matter are equivalent is Star Trek physics. In high school we taught you (well, at least we tried) that mass and energy are equivalent, which makes a lot of sense, since mass is also a property. Mass and matter... both start with "ma", but they are nothing like each other. Good luck with your further studies. :-)

  8. We tried goats. They ate the experiment. ;-)

  9. We can't. Quantum leaps are like Santa Claus. They don't exist.

  10. Protons and neutrons are being held together by the color force, kid, not the electromagnetic force. No proton, no matter. And seriously, don't compare "stuff" (matter) with "properties of stuff" (energy). That wasn't correct in high school and it's still not correct. Take care. :-)

  11.  @chadkincham  I can see that you failed to pay attention in school. There are no such things are energy packets. Energy is an exchange quantity. It's also observer dependent, just like momentum. Oh, wait, energy and momentum are inseparable because of Lorentz symmetry. Yes, I know that you don't know that. :-)

  12. You are halfway there. Now you just have to grab an actual physics textbook. :-)

  13.  @SPX3455  But I do, kid. I just can't teach it to you. For that you have to grab a textbook or two. You know what, make that a hundred. The more, the better. :-)

  14.  @SPX3455  If you ever get around to reading the papers of Heisenberg and others from the late 1920s and 1930s then you will discover that they already understood it back then. You are 90 years late to this party, kid. :-)

  15.  @SPX3455  All the things you still don't. :-)

  16. What do you mean by "at a time"? That phrase doesn't even make sense in classical physics.

  17.  @applythesamewaytoyourselve5918  Exactly. That is not physics but total bullshit. :-)
