f-25 A quantum is both A and B at the same time. An unobserved quantum exists in a superposition where A and B overlap.
This time, I painted that idea.
The overlapping state of A and B continues until it is observed. And the instant it is observed, the state collapses and becomes fixed as either A or B.
“Certainty” is like a temporary still image.
Once people stop observing it, the quantum begins moving again as a wave of probability, gradually returning to an ambiguous world over time.
Strangely enough, if one acts as though the quantum had never been observed, it returns to its original state, even after once having been fixed.
