Content: It’s confusing because we call both “measuring”, but in Heisenberg’s case we mean math, and for the observer effect we mean the observation of an experiment. The observer effect should also not be interpreted to mean that we could change the behavior of particles with our mind (maybe we could, but this remains completely unproven by science, despite attempts). FACT: The observer effect is rooted in scientific experiments, but it can be applied to almost any other field in some degree of practical and philosophical effectiveness. For instance, a focus group is affected by knowing they are being watched and a computer program may run slower if being monitored. The observer most certainly affects the outcome, but the subtleties need to be understood as it applies to each field. YouTube
