What is the quantum observer effect?
Content: They seem to suggest that each collision between quantum particles tends to nudge their respective matrix descriptions towards being dominated by the terms in the leading diagonal. So, as a result, Mars is one specific position in its orbit round the sun, not smeared out probabilistically all the way round, and even particles in the depths of space are being bombarded by photons of the 3K CMB. And, taking a measurement, or being an observer, necessarily also involves the observed objects being bombarded. I found the idea a very elegant explanation of where observation and measurement fits into all this. Sponsored by Gundry MD

The observer effect is this measuring or observing Quantum particles/light causes changes to the system being observed or measured. The most visible example is the interference pattern of light/electrons etc produced by slit experiments. This happens even if you send a single electron/photon at a time. But if the electron/photon is detected passing through slot A or Slot B the inference pattern vanishes.
