AaS! 264: Just How Weird is the Quantum Eraser?

How does the double-slit experiment work? What does it teach us about reality and measurement if we try to mess with the experiment after it's already started? How does quantum complementarity guide us with how to think about it? I discuss these questions and more in today's Ask a Spaceman!
