Has anyone every thought of the implications of using a laser mouse. How just moving around a laser light controls everything the mouse icon on the computer does. Think about that for a minute let it sink in.

Dude I was just thinking about that! How old are laser mouses now? It's pretty crazy how moving a light has that much effect even if it is just a mouse.
Now start thinking about x-box connect and the wii. Blows your mind.
The mouse emits a laser beam and then the reflected image is received by the CMOS sensor and sent to the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) .. this cycle happens multiple times in a second .The DSP detects patterns and changes in the images and tracks the movement of the mouse and then sends the coordinates to the computer..
What is going on here is just the spooky wave nature of light, there is no cause and effect paradox.
if we could put human consciousness in that category of the machine too then the astral world or a shadow of a-live one is where the interference is build trough its human pattern in it by the very nature of a pattern - a human form?

This proves that the physical act of measuring, the Observer Effect, is not responsible for collapsing the interference pattern.
The measuring device has interacted with the particle, yet the interference pattern remains if the info is erased.
The conclusion is again inescapable, the availability of the info is what collapses the pattern, or not.
I see no other reason for that besides it having a direct relation with the consciousness of the experimenter.
That's because the observation is done by the person/consciousness that observes the results, even if those results are observed after the experiment already happened. The machine itself doesn't "observe"... at least not yet.
As Quantum particles behave by their own set of rules and do not abide by the rules of the Marco-Universal Physical Laws...it maybe that this is due to the ability of Quantum particles to be part of a much larger system...the Multiverse. In a Multiverse...there would be an infinite number of Universal States and Divergent Universal Realities that are off shoots of our Universal state via probability. Thus there are many different versions of you and me. This is based on a choice of action...in one Divergent Universal State...I had a Coffee today...in another...including this one...I did not.
Scully and Drühl found that there is no interference pattern when which-path information is obtained, even if this information was obtained without directly observing the original photon, but that if you somehow "erase" the which-path information, an interference pattern is again observed.In the delayed choice quantum eraser discussed here, the pattern exists even if the which-path information is erased shortly later in time than the signal photons hit the primary detector.
However, the interference pattern can only be seen retroactively once the idler photons have already been detected and the experimenter has obtained information about them, with the interference pattern being seen when the experimenter looks at particular subsets of signal photons that were matched with idlers that went to particular detectors.
