“”Observing” a particle is just a fancy way of saying “shooting smaller particles at it”. If the particle is small enough, the smaller particles (usually photons) knock it off course making it impossible to measure. Hence the Double Slit Experiment and Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Theorom.”
I’ve never heard this explanation. What kind of particles are you “shooting” when you observe something?
