Part 7/9:
A pivotal experiment known as the double slit experiment reveals the profound complexities of quantum mechanics and adds further intrigue to the simulation narrative. The outcome of this experiment indicates that subatomic particles behave differently when observed, implying that observation itself—an interaction with what exists in the universe—can alter physical reality. This challenges our understanding of time and existence and leads to questions about the nature of agency within a potential simulation.
If particles exhibit behaviors contingent on observation, that could point toward an intelligence or structure manipulating the laws of physics—similar to a video game rendering only what is immediately necessary in the simulated world.
