This reminds me of an article I read in Scientific American about a similar experiment. Instead of electrons, the experimenter used the light from a star millions of light years away. As the light entered the single slit, it behaved like a particle. Double slit, a wave. When the apparatus were side by side, the single slit had light behaving like a particle, the double a wave. How did that ancient light know what kind of behaviour it was going to manifest millions of years prior to the experiment even existing?
It is the observer that shapes the results. Kinda like the tree falling in the forest. Does it make a sound if no one is there to hear it?
Maybe the imagination really does create reality.
Was the big bang just someone's idea of a good time?
