Ever tried to measure something so tiny that even light changes it? That’s what scientists face when studying atoms and electrons. Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle shows us there are limits to what we can know. It’s not about being wrong — it’s about how the universe really works at its smallest level.
The double-slit experiment changed science forever by showing that tiny particles like electrons behave like waves. Even stranger, just observing them can change how they act. This article explores wave-particle duality, quantum interference, and the mystery of how reality itself responds to being watched.
This article explores the strange but true concept of wave-particle duality—where light and matter behave as both particles and waves. Learn how experiments like the double-slit experiment and the photoelectric effect revealed this dual nature, and find out how it affects everything from lasers to solar panels.
