>>11054123That's an excellent question man,
If I can have a minute of your time I can explain that :)
There are several twin slit experiments.
This is how a twin slit experiment works,
Particles.
Imagine a rectangular room separated in the middle by a strong metal wall, two twin slits are cut in the partitioning wall from roof to floor. So standing at one end you can see through both slits to the other end of the room, now you fire a stream of particles at these two slits.
Let's imagine an AK-47 machine gun or similar. Now you empty a few spray and pray clips at the seperating wall.
On the wall will at the end of the room will be two distinct lines of bullet holes. As the metal wall with the twin slits blocks any bullets except the bullets fired at the slits.
This is what happens when you perform a twin slit experiment with particles, two distinct "shadows" of the twin slits used to manipulate the particle beam.
Waves.
Imagine the same room but half filled to the roof with water.
You are drop a stone into the water at one end, sending ripples all through the first half of the room, these ripples hit the twin slits, the travel as two twin waves that interfere with each other and create a pattern of peaks and troughs. Points of high intensity and low intensity of waves, this is called an "interference pattern"
If you fire a laser pointer through a piece of metal with 2 slits you will see an interference pattern. Proof that light is a wave.
Electrons. (A particle)
When electrons are sent through a twin slit they hit the reciever (or "observer" if you are trying to confuse readers to get a nobel prize) and just spray everywhere. Creating a confusing pattern of both a particle and a wave, discrete slit patterns and interference patterns.
So perhaps electrons are both a wave and a particle? So light must be as well?
But this pattern that electrons show is because of capacitance in the metal used during the experiment, electrostatic forces building up.
