    Exactly. The issue is that you can’t detect photons without interacting with them. So it isn’t observation like so many people think. It’s that if you interact with subatomic particles you change their state.

      Can’t…So far, right? Like there hasn’t been a method developed to somehow detect indirectly without interaction? I don’t know enough about this to know how one might go about that, but I imagine those that know more might love to given whatever knowledge may be gained.
