This is something that I noticed is hard to understand to most people. My SO got served a video of the double slit experiment and thought it was like magic, until I tried to explain to him that at this scale, “observing” doesn’t just mean looking at it. Observation makes you part of the system and causes the system to change.
Quantum mechanics isn’t magical or unknowable. It’s just an area of physics where some of our base assumptions/approximations break down. It’s not even that hard to wrap your head around, it just seems most people don’t want to try.

That is part of what bugs me.

Magic is just stuff we don’t know but don’t care to know :)
There is a magic to perception nothing else can replicate. I’m pretty sure awareness is existence, so it’s attention has to change reality.
Perception and observation are different things. Air molecules can be “observers” when looking at electrons etc.
