Background information
In 1801, Thomas Young was the first to perform an experiment that made it unequivocally clear that light is a wave, since the interference pattern he observed was exactly similar to an interference pattern that would have been produced by water waves.
Videos on the mystery of the double slit experiment
The following videos are recommended to learn more about the double slit experiment and its repercussions for our view on the reality of nature:
- Single Photon Interference by Veritassium, where the experiment is actually performed!
- The Quantum Experiment that Broke Reality by PBS Space Time, with a more in-depth explanation.
- Dr.Quantum — Double slit experiment, a video that is more accessible to the public.
