The Observer Effect

The act of looking at something changes it – an effect that holds true for people, animals, atoms, and even the particles that are, electrons and photons.
Kevin Usilton states, “The observer effect, however, is twofold. Observing changes what occurs, but observing also changes our perceptions of what occurs. Therefore, not observing something allows for infinite possibilities at the very same exact moment in time and space. Yet, as soon as we look at something, the infinite collapses into one exact thing -or- outcome. This is true for past, present and future once it is observed.”

The Bagel Effect

A good example of this is when Miles Morales thew a Bagel at Johnathan Oone, causing Johnathan to develop an intense hatred towards Miles, after that (and a collider incident) Johnathan became The Spot, who claims to be Miles's nemesis.
Guy 1: I'm gonna throw this bagel at someone!
Guy 2: No! You'll cause The Bagel Effect!
Guy 1: *Throws bagel at Guy 3*
(A year later)
Guy 1: *Minding his business*
Guy 3: Remember me? I am your worst enemy.
Guy 1: WHAT THE?! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
