Is Light a Particle or a Wave? Thomas Young's Double Slit Experiment #historicaltidbits

#shorts #history
The double slit experiment first conducted by Thomas Young in 1802 and led to further variations of the experiment that was the birth of the understanding of wave-particle duality within quantum mechanics.

Also, I really should have said 'confirmed', rather than "discovered " in the script. He ran a different experiment in 1801 that confirmed light waves, but it wasn't the double slit experiment (which this video is about).

I learned this shit in high school physics class and I thought man, life is a video game.

"observed" in this case means "measured". Contrary to popular belief the photons do not act differently if you're looking at them.
