i have a question.... you said about constructive and destructive interference when an electron got fired,,, isnt it only happens when there are two slits? so, is it only one electrons fired at once or there are lots of electrons got fired at once?
@zsj382387304 Well there's lots of electrons being fired together in this experiment, but interference is always a single electron effect. Doesn't need to be just two slits, could be three or 20 or none, all you need is the possibility for an electron to take more than one path to somewhere. The interference occurs between those multiple paths. Each electron ultimately lands at one point, and it takes many to make that pattern, but the pattern is caused by interference of each electron alone.
Is this the same thing that happen in a itouch screen

@TheBigBangC No, very different. Touch screens usually reply on capacitance.

Very nicely explained. You managed to fit lots of nice physics in a very short talk!
