Several weeks ago I picked up “The Elegant Universe” because I thought it would have information on The Ultimate Theory. Soon afterwards, I picked up “How to Teach Physics To Your Dog” in order to get ...

The famous double slit experiment shows that particles can travel on two paths at the same time -- but only by looking at a lot of particles and analysing the results statistically. Now a ...

At the quantum boundary This experiment at the University of Vienna proves that objects as big as molecules can interfere. (Image: Robin Riegler) Ever since quantum theory was developed during the ...

One of the best-known examples of the counterintuitive behavior seen in the quantum world is the double-slit experiment. Take a piece of material that blocks light and cut two small slits in it; hit ...
