Jesus H. Chris. Observation requires interaction, it is not isolated from what it observes. Any detector interacts with the field it detects, and detecting any particle requires either contact with the particle, or for charged particles, intertacting with the field around the particle. All these misinterpretations of the physics come from misconceptions and flawed fuzzy logic.

Also, the two slit experiment is highly flawed because the slits are not perfect ideal slits. They are structures of atoms. Anything passing them interacts with the atoms and that alters how objects pass by. Including affecting the wave function of a passing particle wave packet.

And finally, YouTube is not any kind of rigorous scientific source - it is a populist entertainment venue only. Sometimes I get irritated by how easily stupidity reigns over validity. Then I remind myself this is a society of advanced apes, but still only apes.
