To simplify it in a simplified scientific language I’d say that by observing we make the wave function to collapse, making it possible for as to see the particle behavior exhibited in what we call matter.
Note that some of you can be deceived from the “particle” part in the “wave-particle” term.
That entity is not a particle. It is an entity said to behave either as a wave or as a particle, but “behavior” is not “consistency”.
Therefore, it would be safer to think of it as a wave.
I would call it “awareness-wave” which interferes with itself.
My favorite word for this interference is “DREAM”.
The mind as part of the “awareness-wave” (God) can observe its own interference thus creating delusion about existence out of the self, hence the observable surrounding.
The state of the mind, which knows that is observing its own self-interference is known as “awaken”.
People with low intelligence tend to accept old explanation without questioning, thus becoming blind religious followers.
The need for salvation brings obedience to rules, which were (and still are) used by the church for self-interests.
The “sound” meaning has no absolute value because it describes our perception for certain vibration frequency.
Let’s take the word “red” for example.
We named a range of the light spectrum with the name “red”.
We agree on the fact that most humans can recognize that certain range, and we use the word red for it, but we can not know how each of us sees the color with that name.
Therefore, “red” is just a word for a certain range of the light spectrum, which has no absolute value for all observers.
To say that the noise and the light are still there is illogical knowing that we are using not absolute values.
– Do you know what “wave function collapse” is?
By using it in my explanation, I mean that we as measuring (observing) tools are defining the value to which the set of calculated probabilities will collapse. Everything around us is set of systems, interfering with each other and us. We are defining the values for the wave function collapse of all that systems.
