children in good thinking habits may have better reality: Quantum Physics says that our thoughts can change what we see.

Quantum physics has long been saying that: Subatomic objects switch between particle and wave states when observed, while remaining in a dual state beforehand.
We may be used to waves being waves and solid objects being particle-like. Quantum theory holds that light can behave either as a wave, or as a particle. The same goes for objects with mass like electrons. What determines when a photon or electron will behave like a wave or a particle, and how do these things “decide” which they will be at a particular time?

The dominant model of quantum mechanics holds that it is when a measurement is taken that the “decision” takes place. Erwin Schrodinger came up with his famous thought experiment using a cat to ridicule this idea– Schrödinger’s cat can be both alive and dead. Photon has been reported to behave like Schrödinger’s cat.

Dr. Andrew Truscott of the Australian National University has reported the same thing in Nature Physics, using a helium atom, that the helium atom can be both wave and particle, and its decision of being may be made at the time of observation. Truscott told, different to a photon, “An atom has significant mass and couples to magnetic and electric fields, so it is much more in tune with its environment. It is more of a classical particle in a sense, so this was a test of whether a more classical particle would behave in the same way.”

Trustcott’s experiment involved creating a Bose-Einstein Condensate of around a hundred helium atoms. He conducted the experiment first with this condensate. The last atom was passed through a “grate” made by two laser beams that can scatter an atom in a similar manner to a solid grating that can scatter light. These have been shown to cause atoms to either pass through one arm, like a particle, or both, like a wave.
A random number generator was then used to determine whether a second grating would appear further along the atom’s path. The random number was only generated after the atom had passed the first grate.

The second grating, when applied, caused an interference pattern in the measurement of the atom further along the path. Without the second grating, the atom had no such pattern. The fact that this number is RANDOM means that the helium atom did not make decision of “Being” until when the second grating was applied.

What do you think? did our reality not exist until we think of it?
