So light is both! And sort of neither...
from Spherical Cow · host Olivia and Naina
Welcome back, Spherical Cow Moonions! This week we are bringing our miniseries about the history of light, the birth of quantum mechanics and particle-wave duality to a close. In this episode we are revisiting the Double-slit Experiment but looking at it from a slightly different angle. By doing so, we will finally reach the 'particle-wave duality' stage of our journey and discuss some of the crazy ideas quantum mechanics has to offer! Please see a slight amendment to our discussion below: 06:49 - Olivia accidentally said 'proton' instead of 'photon' ! To view our sources please see our website - https://www.podpage.com/spherical-cow/ N.B. This episode was recorded virtually so the audio quality might be different to normal.
