they always get mixed up. the observer effect is when an detecting instrument changes the state of a particle being observed from particle behaviour to wave behaviour.
the light may be behaving as a wave would, so a detector is place to see a single photon go through two slits, however the detector changed the behavour of the photon, and it acted like a particle instead.

the other aspect of the particle principle is the wave particle duality. a particle is both a wave and a corpuscle

Yea... it was in experiments designed to clarify that, they stumbled upon the observer effect.

- hand up. I admit I was one of the many with this common misunderstanding. (How the hell did this all start I wonder?) Anyway, I stand corrected and bow to your more accurate knowledge! I apologise for thinking I knew more than yourself on this matter. I'm interested in the truth (and have a small ego) so have no trouble with being humble here. Just glad to get an accurate picture of what is the case.
Shabby - a couple of thoughts on your experience:-
- what were you thinking/feeling before you noticed the moving cement? (Could it be significant?)
- could it be a vivid visualisation in line with your current thought/feeling?

Not sure if its in simple English for you, but it is the answer you seek.

Thank you so much for this, John!

We can get some simple concepts from that quantum science, and some of them are useful for understanding the link between subatomic particles, waves and consciousness.

It was Niels Bohr, and this is the exact quote

If mind has no influence on the world, explain how double-slit experiments affect the wave/particle nature of light.

Gem - thanks for clarifying where the "observer effect" misunderstanding originated. Why didn't they just call it the instrument effect?!

Hey Gem! No matter what changed.....something changed due to changing who observed it. Right?

Here's a nice overview from Discover mag on the quantum theory of reverse causality. Or, the future influencing the past.
http://discovermagazine.com/2010/apr...rom-the-future
I'm not sure if anything quantum explains what Shabby experienced, but it's certainly a possibility...
Then again, if it was just a visual distortion...
-- it may have been a hallucination, yes...or
-- it may have been an isolated geological incident
but
if it wasn't a hallucination....and there were no geological happenings(norumblings of earthquake, no sinkhole)
...then let's not forget, there is a still whole collection of MIB related stories and the like. With various types of technology for concealment and so forth.
curiouser and curiouser is right.
;)
Peace & blessings,
7L

Thanks Amy and Gem for the link, but I did not get understand what I read. Could one of you clarify please?
So an instrument observed an experiment which changed the result? What kind of instrument was it? Something that recorded something?

My thought about this is, even though it was initially an instrument that recorded the changed behavior of the particles and waves, a human observer observed that.

Yes...that was what I was thinking too Xan.
