Quantum physics: where particles don't commit to a location until someone's watching! That plasma ball is the perfect metaphor - your finger isn't using Jedi mind tricks to control those electric arcs; it's creating a physical interaction. Similarly, quantum particles aren't responding to your psychic powers—they're reacting to the measuring equipment physically poking them.
Next time someone at a party tries to connect quantum mechanics to their crystal healing business, just remind them: those subatomic particles aren't "choosing to align with your energy"—they're being physically disturbed by measurement tools. Sorry to burst your mystical bubble with actual science!
