A question about the double-slit experiment:
Is it possible that the "observation device", which I am assuming would have to emit some sort of particle stream, which would bounce off the electrons and bouce back to something which registers the returning detector-particles, in order to detect which slit the particles would enter, could have influenced the particles in such a manner as to restabilize them, and force them to act like "marbles"?
In this sense, the act of observation isn't so much an act of consciousness, but an act of nature.
Just a curiosity question -- definitely an LoA type guy.
