Somebody please tell me this double slit experiment is a big effing joke! cuz if its not, then HOLY MOTHER F!#K !!!! Thats some serious S#@T !!

first of all, gentle *is* an electromagnetic container. it incredibly is the interplay between the electrical powered and magnetic factors that permit the sunshine to propagate in a vacuum. next, gentle, like each issues on the quantum point is the two a particle and a wave. greater especially, that's a danger wave the place the possibility is of detection of a particle. The wave nature shows up in issues like interference fringes and diffraction kinds. there is likewise a wavelength and frequency linked with it. even however, if the intensity is amazingly low, purely individual photons would be detected. Even nevertheless, the interference kinds will improve over the years. i could could element out that electrons have this comparable sources of being the two a wave and a particle. We frequently think of of electrons as debris, yet additionally they coach interference kinds with useful and unfavourable interference. This easily shows an underlying cohesion in ALL elementary debris: all of them coach the two wave and particle residences with the wave being a danger wave.

It is not a joke. The duel nature of light acting as either particle-lie or wave-like is well established. It is very interesting what happens at the quantum-mechanical level.

It isn't really a joke X. It's true. A particle can be a wave, and a wave, a particle.

D@#N RIGHT it is serious S#!T.
But it is an actual experiment that produces exactly the results you find so contradictory. Believe it or not!

True stuff. It's a strange, but interesting, concept in physics.

AT STANFORD THEY HAVE SPLIT A SINGLE POTON OF LIGHT IN HALF AND SENT THE TWO HALVES OF IN OPOSITE DIRECTIONS. THEN WHEN THEY MANIPULATE ONE OF THE HALF PHOTONS, THE OTHER HALF CHANGES TOO AS IF SOMEHOW THEY ARE STILL CONNECTED. BTW THIS ALLOWS YOU TO COMMUNICATE AT SPEEDS FAR GREATER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT WOULD ALLOW.

It's even weirder than you think. Read this link, and cry.
