Quantum Physics Anyone?

.
I really would like to understand Quantum Physics. In particular the idea that photons can turn either into waves or particles -but only when no one is looking!!! Even if a scientist is trying to track it. It seems to know how to "wait" and switch. You can read more about it here.

sigh. So much to learn. Is there a chip one can put into my head and I can download this information? lol

"Quantum wave interference only happens when "nobody is watching" them pass thru the slits. As soon as we stop tracking the path of the particles, the quantum wave interference reappears. How do the particles "know" when its okay to turn into waves?"

Intention and expectation seem to dominate when "tracking the path of the particles."

Consciousness seems to play a pivotal role here. Also, in some other scientific experiments, because a thing is being observed, effects how the thing observe behaves.

At some point, in the not too distant future, I believe that science will concede that consciousness plays a bigger role than heretofore believed in how our world works.
