How can something be both a wave and a particle at the same time?
The single particle double-slit experiment is a quantum experiment that challenges our intuitive understanding of the physical world, where near-infinite possibilities become a singular reality, a moment that scientists have come to define as “the collapse of the wave function.”
Check out this YouTube Channel Space-Time’s (A PBS Digital Studio) on the quantum experiment that broke reality!
Key Takeaways:
- The fundamental nature of reality may not be physical at all, at least in any sense that we are familiar with.
- Wave function doesn’t have a physical nature.
- The theory of Quantum Mechanics produces stunningly accurate predictions of reality.
“”It hints that the fundamental nature of reality may not be physical at all – at least in any sense that we’re familiar with.””
