| 0:00.0 | So we have to come to a deeper understanding of how to explain what is going on in this |
| 0:05.6 | double-studed experiment because if we fire either a photon or an electron at that double-slide |
| 0:11.1 | apparatus and we put a detector at either of those slits, then we will detect a particle. |
| 0:16.0 | So we can detect that we fire a particle, we can detect that a particle is going through those slits |
| 0:21.5 | and we can detect a particle at the projection screen as well. When you do this experiment in the |
| 0:27.0 | laboratory using electrons, you can see the dots where the electrons strike hitting the screen. |
| 0:31.8 | But you don't get a simple pattern that you would expect. If you're firing cannonballs at a wall, |
| 0:37.0 | where there are two holes in the wall through which the cannonballs can go, |
| 0:40.3 | you would expect that all the cannonballs are going to go through those two holes and land in |
| 0:44.5 | one of two positions behind the wall. But with particles at the quantum level, that's not what |
| 0:50.4 | happens. Something is going on. And the only explanation is that when we fire a photon, |
| 0:57.5 | there's the photon that we can see in our universe, but there's also photons in other universes |
| 1:03.6 | passing through the apparatus that we cannot see. And these photons are able to interact with the |
| 1:09.6 | photon that we are able to detect. This is where the concept of interference comes in. |
| 1:14.9 | Interferences in old concept in physics. It goes back to waves, waves certainly interfere. But we |
| 1:20.9 | need to understand the way in which particles can interfere one with another. Particles that we |
| 1:26.4 | can observe and particles that we can only assume to observe given these experiments. And this is why |
| 1:33.0 | we are forced into acknowledging the existence of these other particles. And not only these other |
| 1:38.0 | particles, but other universes in which these particles exist. |
