Do we have any theoretical physicists in the house?
Thinking about quantum mechanics today. With what limited knowledge I have on the subject, I know that science has shown that observation of a particle causes it to change in its behavior. Many have heard of the double slit experiment, and the mind-boggling results held therein; to summarize, essentially a particle will function as both a wave and a particle until it is observed.

Thinking about quantum mechanics today. With what limited knowledge I have on the subject, I know that science has shown that observation of a particle causes it to change in its behavior. Many have heard of the double slit experiment, and the mind-boggling results held therein; to summarize, essentially a particle will function as both a wave and a particle until it is observed.
Today I wonder a step further. If observation of a particle changes its behavior- truly just the act of looking at it- does the act of belief have any effect on the state of said particle, as well.
Take, for instance, quarks. “Up” and “down” entangled quarks, to be precise. These little buggers are a true marvel. No matter where they are in relation to one another, one will always be up and one will always be down. Doesn’t matter the distance- scientists have moved one particle to one side of the planet, and then taken its partner literally to the other side and flipped one; the other flipped instantaneously.
From what I understand, mainline science theory currently states that when a particle of this nature is not observed, it exists within a quantum state of “superpositioning”, meaning that it points all directions simultaneously. Only upon observation does the particle’s potential states collapse into a single recognizable state.
I’m wondering if we can use science to prove that belief in a particle’s state causes some kind of measurable change in the likelihood of one state over another. For instance, if a subject is somehow made to 100% believe that a particle’s state is up or down before having it revealed, does this change the likelihood of the superpositioning collapsing into the state in which the subject was told that the particle would be.
The experiments would have to be very strategically planned, but I very seriously think it would be valuable to know.
Jesus told us if we ask something in His name, and believe that He will answer that prayer, it will be so. Oftentimes it is not immediate, the answer. Oftentimes it is not the answer we expected, but a solution is provided nonetheless.
If one could utilize science to prove that human cognitive belief has a measurable impact upon the world around us, it would be absolutely ground breaking. What prevents such an experiment from being formulated by a Christian professional scientist?
