People See the Double-slit Experiment for the First Time

YouTube description:

Quantum physics is weird. I hope this video makes you interested to read more about the experiment https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

Big thanks to my friends for being part of this video:

Special mention to Kevin Li who's footage was lost to unfortunate circumstances... https://www.youtube.com/user/JustKevYTP

The base footage is from Dr Quantum - Double-slit experiment, taken from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPep....
The clip is originally from "What The Bleep Do We Know!?: Down The Rabbit Hole". A disclaimer is that this organisation contains some less-than-scientific ideas and supports some pseudoscience from what i've seen. That being said, I find this clip of Dr. Quantum to be an excellent educational tool for the double-slit experiment.
vilsays...

Was hoping for an actual experiment.

You cannot both "detect" a photon/electron before it "enters a slit" and have it go through and "detect" it again at the back. That part is (probably) hogwash.

Detection at this scale really means fatal crash or at least deflection.

From what has been observed it would appear that in such an experiment an individual electron takes all the possible paths through both slits and the "waves" that "interfere" are waves of probability of the particle passing through detection points.

While it might as well be magic, really, QED does have observable rules, and this video might make it appear as though one could change the outcome by blinking an eye, which is not the case.

To make any headway stop thinking about tiny marbles. Think about tiny cartoon characters moving so fast they are smudged to invisibility whirring their tiny appendages around - you can only tell which particle and where it is if you swat it or it hits a wall and stops moving. There is no "detect but keep going as if nothing happened".
