could the "observer effect" be nothing more than an illusion? Is "objectivity" an illusion?

What would the purpose of this illusion be?  We were meant to discover this illusion? whats behind the illusion?

Who knows if we were meant to discover whatever it is that is happening, but maybe its a good thing. But I do highly doubt it was time travel.

Like I said...Im not a physicist, but I have a couple of ideas that COULD explain what is happening.

Maybe an electron has both properties of a wave and of a particle.

Maybe an electron ONLY has properties of a wave, but "observation" makes it act like a particle...something happening during measurment could be interfering.

From a psychological point of view...i.e. maybe even our own expectations (consciousness?) are influencing the process of it being measured.

Who knows...

Obviously im not a great chemist but im competent enough to know some stuff and be able to do some synths. Any reccomends for furthering my knowledge? I have read almost every book in my essential books post and have studied lots of erowid shroomery and rhodium.

buying a high school chemistry book, and saving your money until you really know what you're doing.

Meh my book character hasnt blown himself up yet and learns alot from his chem sesh's so he figures he cant be doing that bad. Plus highschoolers dont realize that speed /=/ cocaine so this market is a racket.

Books are "ok". But thats all they are. Books. Just like driving a car. One will never truely know what they are doing until they sit in the drivers seat for the first time. 

So many things that one can improve, do better, in this write up that it isnt even funny anymore.
