Understanding Quantum Mechanics: How The Double-Slit Experiment Revolutionized Our View Of Particle Behavior
-

In classical physics, particles like electrons are expected to have definite positions and velocities. However, experiments such as the double-slit experiment showed that particles can behave like waves, leading to unpredictable results that classical mechanics couldn't explain. This highlighted the need for a new framework to describe the behavior of matter at very small scales.
