Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

This is such a mindfuck, the implications are really weird, like WTF is this universe actually made of?

This is not how the double slit experiment works though. "Observe", in quantum physics should be read as "interacts with a thing", it doesn't require a conscious observer.

Think about it this way: a frog dies when you observe its organs.
