light is particles and they bounce off each other so appear to be like a wave. molecules of water are like waves in the same way. Always wondered why genius scientists couldn't figure this out, it's obvious.

Not sure if you are serious, but that's not what the waves are about. If you have two waves of water, the volume of water only increases. If you have two waves of light, they can cancel each other out.

That's not the issue. It's that the act of observation will change the behavior from practical to wave. It's freaky.

that just seems like that cuz we observe by light hitting our eyes or the instruments. also should be obvious.
No "act" is needed. It's just a chemical reaction. It doesn't so much point at it being a prison, but at a simulation.
