Why does looking at a particle change how it behaves? In this quick explainer, we discuss physics' most famous experiment: the Double-Slit Experiment. Learn how individual particles create wave-like interference patterns, what a wavefunction actually represents, and why measuring a particle's path causes its wavefunction to collapse. Discover why quantum reality isn't just waves or particles, but both!
