The artwork that is being presented in front of you is a three dimensional representation of the very famous double slit experiment. The double slit experiment consists of the behaviour of electrons when they pass through two given slits. As seen on the project itself, there are two sides containing identical slits along with two machine like objects which serve as electron shooters. Their purpose is to shoot electrons continuously at the slits so that the behaviour of the electrons can be monitored by observing the pattern that they make behind the two respected slits on each side. Behind the slits on each side you have a sort of black board figure that displays a pattern. Each side as you can see, has its very own unique pattern. Although both sides of the artwork look almost symmetrical, there is a certain reason as to why under almost the same circumstances there are two completely different patterns on both boards.
The right side of the project shows the result of when the electrons where shot through the two slits under normal circumstances. The resulting pattern on the screen was displayed as many different wave-like interference bands. Physicists then thought that this band was created due to the interference that the electrons had with each other. Another test was performed too see if the electrons would form only two bands this time seeing that they were only shot one a time through the two slits. This test was performed to eliminate the possibility of interactions or interference between the electrons. The ending result was that it still gave the same multi band pattern on the end of the screen. The left side of the experiment displays the same test but this time an observing tool was set up to detect the path of the electrons. The result of this third test seemed to astonish scientists because the resulting pattern that was seen on the screen behind the slits was a perfect two band pattern in the same shape of the slits. This is when scientists came to the conclusion that they were unable to observe electrons without the electron changing its pattern. This theory is very prodigious seeing that the electron has a mind of its own. We say that it has a mind of its own due to the fact that upon observation, it seems to always deviate its original path. This is a problem for scientists seeing that their knowledge of an electrons behaviour is limited due to the change of the electrons’ behaviour when it is observed. I strongly believe that the artwork submitted clearly exemplifies what is explained in this rational given that the left side shows the end result of when electrons are observed and the right side shows the ending result of when the electrons are not being observed. This observation is definitely a bug part of quantum because it goes against most of the common sense of an outcome. This means that if you were to guess the outcome of the slit experiment, you would use your common sense and think that by observing the electron nothing would alter the results. Although, the ending result goes completely against what the common outcome should be. To conclude, the behaviour of electrons change when they experience any sense of observation being placed upon them. The quantum world is one that will greatly continue to astonish anyone who dares to challenge it.
