Have you heard of the double slit experiment with electrons?

There's a version of it called the "Delayed Choice" experiment.

In a normal double-slit experiment, you shoot one electron at a time toward a wall that has two open slits.

If you don't check which slit the electron goes through, the electron acts like a wave.

It seems to go through both slits at once, and you get a wavy "interference pattern" on the back wall.

If you do check which slit it went through (by setting up a detector), suddenly the electron acts like a particle.
It chooses one slit or the other, and the interference pattern disappears.

What if you wait until after the electron has passed the slits to decide whether or not to measure it?

That’s the delayed choice experiment.

You let the electron go through the slits without setting up a detector at first.

After the electron has already passed the slits (but before it hits the screen), you randomly decide whether to:

A) Measure which slit it went through,

or not measure and let it make an interference pattern.


And guess what happens?

If you choose to measure, the electron acts as if it had gone through only one slit — even though it had already passed through the slits.

If you don’t measure, it acts as if it had gone through both slits.


It’s like the electron somehow retroactively changes its past behavior based on what you choose later.

This is exactly what it made me think of.
