'Here we are'? - God's Observer Effect in Quantum Mechanics

Job 38:35

"Can you send forth lightning that they may go And say to you, 'Here we are'?

The observer effect in quantum mechanics refers to the phenomenon that the act of observing or measuring a quantum system can affect the system itself. This is a fundamental aspect of quantum mechanics and has been demonstrated in numerous experiments, including the double-slit experiment.

In the double-slit experiment, electrons are fired at a barrier with two slits in it. When the electrons are not observed, they behave as waves and interfere with each other, creating a characteristic interference pattern on a screen behind the barrier. However, when the electrons are observed, they behave as particles and no interference pattern is observed.

This suggests that the act of observing the electrons somehow "collapses" their wave function, causing them to localize into particles. The exact nature of this collapse is still a matter of debate, but it is clear that the observer effect is a real and fundamental phenomenon.

Some physicists have interpreted the observer effect to mean that there must be a different observer not in the experiment who is responsible for collapsing the wave function. This is because, according to the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, the wave function is a complete description of a quantum system, and there is no way for a system to collapse its own wave function.

However, other physicists have argued that the observer effect can be explained without the need for an external observer. They argue that the collapse of the wave function is simply a consequence of the interaction between the quantum system and its environment. In other words, the environment acts as an observer and collapses the wave function when it interacts with the system. However God establishes the environment.

The debate over the nature of the observer effect is one of the most fundamental and unresolved issues in quantum mechanics. It is a question that has profound implications for our understanding of the universe and our place in it.

Whether or not Job 38:35 can be interpreted as a description of the observer effect of quantum mechanics is a matter of debate. Some people believe that the verse is a metaphorical description of the way in which God's observation of the universe can influence the behavior of physical objects. 

It is possible that Job 38:35 could be interpreted as a description of the observer effect. The verse says that God can send forth lightnings that will say to him, "Here we are." This could be interpreted as meaning that God can observe the universe at any time and see everything that is happening. When God observes something, he is acting as an external observer, and his observation could potentially affect the behavior of that thing e.g. the wave collapse.

God's “science” lesson to Job includes the earth starting as a cornerstone that is covered in deep darkness while it's formed like clay is a perfect description of protosolar systems we have only recently observed by the Alma Array. 

The accurate description of the pleiades and Orion plus other descriptions speaks to the book as not being allegorical poetic descriptions.

Ultimately, the meaning of Job 38:35 is up to the individual reader to decide however it could be an explanation of this paradoxical phenomenon.
