This is where the video loses me. I get that quantum physics is really weird stuff, but our observations actually cause things? And this is in some way related to the choices I make?
From what I've heard and read, yes, Quantum Reality can be influenced by the observer. From what I remember in Quantum Reality the particles exist everywhere at the same time until they are observed...kind of of like the electron cloud...you can tell the speed but not the location...or the location but not the speed...

Wasn't there a recent experiment when they actually proved Quantum Reality (or was it Quantum Tunneling)... they fired a particle at a screen with two slits...and this particle was to go through one or the other and hit the detector on the other side to see which slit it went through. But lo! It went through BOTH at the same time!

An observer can just be another particle. It used to be theorized that conscious observation played a role in quantum effects but that theory is no longer mainstream.

"Observe" in this case being more synonymous with "interact" than "witness"?
