I am not a boy because my parents observed my penis at the 12 week echo. I am a boy because the sperm cell that made me, carried the right chromosome. It was decided at fertilization. Even if my parents never observed me, I would still be a boy.
The experiment described in the Veritasium video splits a particle in an electron and a proton. They must have opposite spin and that is measured at the time of observation. Than there’s a whole discussion about faster than light communication, but if the spin is given at the moment of creation, both will have the opposite spin from the start. It can still be random and measurements will still have a 25% failure rate.
What am I missing? Can the spin change between creation and measurement?
What happens if a particle doesn’t get observed, does it not have spin?
Gender isn’t chromosome dependent =D
Also not how biological sex works either. The sperm carries both X and Y, contributing only one at time of fertilization (except for the rare chromosomal variation).
Also, not at all related to spin of an electron. Not everything is impossible to observe state and location at the same time. I, for example, am currently observable on my couch with minimal motion in any direction.
In particle physics, a hadron takes on attributes like charge, up/down, or left/right by simple addition of the attributes of constituent particles. But in biology, there is not a simple correspondence of any sex chromosome pattern to anatomical sex presentation. X, XX, XY, XXY, XYY, chimeras and more are viable patterns and none of them guarantee presentation as anatomically male, female, or intersex. Different rules at such vastly different scales.
