“Ha ha,” laughed T amused, “scientists did not understand why particles, light photons or electrons, behaved like waves. Did the particles change? Did they divide and clash and bounce off each other to create multi bands? What was happening? A single electron leaves the shooter as a particle, becomes a wave of potentials, goes through both slits and interferes with itself to hit the wall like a particle; or mathematically it goes through both slits and goes through neither; and it goes through just one and it goes through just the other…?

So, an observing eye was positioned next to the slits to see exactly what was and which slit it was and wow…”

…. the same experiment resulted in 2 bands; particle behaviour; not a wave interference pattern.

“WFT?!” exclaimed Arther.

“Language Arther,” reprimanded Ayşe.

“But, it is weird S-H-İ-T, you must admit.”

Ayşe was exasperated, “This apparently is the famous wave duality aspect of quantum mechanics; waves of possibility, an extremely abstract idea.”

Particles of light called photons fired at the slits, created an interference pattern, but only if you are not looking at the photons going through the slits. You can look at the screen.

When you observe the photons going through the slits, you get a particle 2 stripe pattern on the screen. The implications are significant to say the least. Electrons act differently, as if aware of being observed. What turns quantum potentials into classical actuals?
