    Well, to be fair quantum physics has scientifically proven that to witness something is to change it. So something spooky is going to be part of the human condition. Trying to define the changes that occur when we observe things is a kind of magic. In my humble opinion

      So there isn’t anything spooky going on there it’s just that viewing particles involves bouncing photons which of course impacts the particles you’re viewing. Measuring is changing. It’s like if in order to measure mass you had to burn a thing (kind of like how we measure calories), in that case measuring it changes it. Nothing spooky, just an inherently destructive measurement process
