Two Slits Are Better Than One is a fascinating article about the double-slit experiment, and how light can behave like a wave and a particle at the same time, how observing an experiment can change the results, and all kinds of other quantum physics magicalness.
I don’t claim to understand it all, but it just sends my mind spinning off into crazy directions when I read stuff like this.
You truly are in good company if it sends your mind spinning. Einstein’s famous quote, “God does not play dice” was in reference to his inability to comprehend a world in which probability is king. Feynman too thought that we may never understand fully the quantum world.
