  • @dickwa um no... i've yet to meet a physicist who doesn't believe this and I study and work in a physics department. please show me evidence of an experiment that created an interference pattern with dice. yes, electrons are not tiny balls, but given this is a cartoon this isn't going to be something for people who really need to learn the material. It does a great job of relaying the fundamentals of the experiment for anybody regardless of science background.

  • WHAT!? AN INTERFERENCE PATTERN!?

  • very nice video - i need more videos explained physics by this simply and easy way :-)

  • i'm scared.

  • So basically everytime u observe an electron it acts in accordance with its particle nature and wen u are not looking it acts as a wave. Really!?

  • Isn't that how religion was born. Making a conclusion without having any idea what is going on. There is obviously a factor missing here. Or maybe the religious are right in saying that we are the center of the universe. Or maybe some science is the extreme study of the irrelevant. I have no opinion either way.

  • is this on tv or something?

  • @sidewaysfcs0718 But you haven't seen the extended explanation of this!

    They had the detector ON yet if they choose not to look at the data and just press delete they got the pattern as if the detector was off!

    IT BOGGLES MY MIND!

  • The largest known object to exhibit wave-particle duality is a spherical fullerene molecule otherwise known as a buckyball.

  • @sidewaysfcs0718 im sorry, but that honestly makes no sense. theres not way that consciousness doesn't play a role if observing changes the outcome of results so drastically. if no ones there to "watch" or unconsciously "decide" what will happen, then particles act like waves. vice versa if someone watches. life is a dream whether you like it or not. if you truly don't believe that it is, you're just creating a self fulfilling prophecy of whatever you think is true to happen
