The double-slit experiment is a classic physics experiment that shows how particles like electrons or photons can behave like both particles and waves - and how observation itself affects the outcome. Here's how it works: 1. You shoot tiny particles at a wall with two slits. 2. Behind the wall is a screen that shows where the particles land. 3. If you don’t watch the slits, the particles create an interference pattern - as if each particle went through both slits like a wave. 4. But if you place a detector to see which slit each particle goes through, the interference disappears—they act like normal particles, not waves. It reveals that: Quantum objects don’t behave like anything in everyday life. Reality can change just because it’s being observed. The universe at a fundamental level is governed by probabilities, not certainties.

Horrible explanation

He missed out the most important factor, when they are unobserved. Most likely intentionally omitted, to obfuscate the real mystery surrounding the Double Split Experiment.

The clitoris is a myth

And there is more to it. When you dont actually watch the electrons go through, the bars are “transformed” into waves. When you put a camera to watch them, they become solid and you see dots instead. And that’s even more freaky

They don’t even get to the observer part. It’s fucking nuts

Why is he trying to explain quantum physics to a guy who thinks mRNA shots are vaccines. 🤣🤣🤣 post changing the definition to include them. 🤣

Best description I have found for appreciating this😉

Sounds like someone trying to explain bitcoin as the simple greatest innovation ever made
