  • A well known physics experiment that shows light is both a particle and a wave.

    If you fire a laser at a piece of paper with two slits cut in it, you would expect the laser to show up as two lines on the other side, but it ends up displaying a much more complex pattern because the photons bounce off each other like ripples in a pond.

    The freaky part is if the experiment is repeated by firing only one photon at a time, it still produces the interference pattern.
