Your entire life is an illusion: New test backs up theory that the world doesn’t exist until we look at it

• Quantum mechanics states reality doesn’t exist until it’s measured
• This means a particle’s past behaviour changes based on what we see
• Experiment using an atom and laser beams has proven this to be true
• How the atom behaved depended on how it was measured at end of test

Ellie Zolfagharifard For Dailymail.com – The universe doesn’t exist if we stop looking at it.

This is according a famous theory in quantum mechanics which argues that a particle’s past behaviour changes based on what we see.

Now, scientists have performed a new experiment proving this theory to be true on the scale of atoms.

According to the rules of quantum mechanics, the boundary between the ‘world out there’ and our own subjective consciousness are blurred.

When physicists look at atoms or particles of light, what they see depends on how they have set up their experiment.

To test this, physicists at the Australian National University recently conducted what is known as the John Wheeler’s delayed-choice thought experiment.

The experiment involves a moving object that is given the choice to act like a particle or a wave.

Wheeler’s experiment then asks – at which point does the object decide?

Common sense says the object is either wave-like or particle-like, independent of how we measure it.

But quantum physics predicts that whether you observe wave like behaviour or particle behaviour depends only on how it is actually measured at the end of its journey.

This is exactly what the Australian team found. Continue reading . . .
