Infamous Double Slit Experiment
On July - 14 - 2008
I saw this video on Digg and just had to post it. It explains in simple terms one of the most interesting (and still not understood) properties of quantum physics. There’s no way I’ll be able to explain it, so just check it out:
The coolest part is definitely the fact that the way quantum physics behaves changes depending on if someone is measuring it (looking at it).

If a particle is vibrating, wouldn’t that mean that it always travels like a wave? However if you had a mass of particles, with them all vibrating, they would travel in a straight line as the vibrations would cancel each other out in relation to their mass.
sounds like you know what you’re talking about much more than i ever could:). i agree with your point though.
the oddest part about this is that when you measure (look at) the particles going through the slits, they act differently!! why would the act of measuring them make them act different…crazy!
