Jim Al-Khalili explains the experiment that reveals the "central mystery of quantum mechanics": the double slit experiment. Sometimes called the "two-slit" or "Young's" experiment, it demonstrates that matter and energy can display the characteristics of both waves and particles, establishing the principle known as wave-particle duality. Furthermore, it questions the role of the observer in the outcome of events and demonstrates the fundamental limitation of an observer to predict experimental r

Scientists just split a photon into two, and confirmed that one of the most fundamental rules of physics still holds true, even at the tiniest possible scale. | Hashem Al-Ghaili
