This is a great video.

I have embarrassed myself trying to explain (mostly to kids,
but also to a couple of physicists) the slit-light experiment.
It explains it wonderfully well.
But: it is an excerpt from 'What the Bleep do we know', -
which was a great 'thought experiment' movie,
- fataly flawed with looniness.
The fact that the world on the quantum level acts so
strangely, - does not mean that everything
strange, must be true . -

Isaac Newton had the same opinion as everyone else in his time,
Reply
- that the final authority on science was Newton.
He pronounced that light was not a wave; it was a particle.
50 years later, a young scientist named Young,
poked 2 holes in a piece of cardboad and held it in the sunlight.
The patterns of light on the wall pronounced St. Isaaac wrong.
This has been called the most beautiful experiment in physics,
ever.
Young was denounced for years as a troublemaking upstart who dishonored Newton.

The amazing thing about this animation,from "what the bleep!is,"why,when observed, do sub-atomic particles,act like tiny rocks and when they are not observed,act like waves,during the double slit experiment?

You are 100% correct about Young and the double slit experiment, concerning light of course. -
