>>19423709Ok then, explained for a five year old:
Alright, imagine you have a magic flashlight that shoots out tiny fairy dust, but these fairy dust bits are so small you can't see them. Now, you shine that magic light at a big wall, but before it hits the wall, you put a special barrier with two little doors (like tiny doggy doors) in it.
Surprisingly, when you shoot the fairy dust at the wall, it doesn't make just two spots like you'd expect from the two doors. Instead, it makes a pattern with lots of lines and stripes. It's as if the fairy dust is playing a game of peekaboo and making a special pattern on the wall. This is a bit like what happens with tiny particles in the world of the very, very small, called quantum mechanics. They sometimes act like playful fairies, creating patterns that surprise us!
Well, little friend, the fairy dust, or in the tiny world we call them particles, can be a bit mischievous. Even though we can't see them, they sometimes act like waves playing tag with each other. Now, when they go through those two little doors, they don't just pick one door to go through, they kinda go through both at the same time, like playing hide and seek through both doors at once!
Now, when they hit the wall, it's like the waves from the two doors are either helping each other out or canceling each other, creating that funny pattern. It's a bit like when you and your friend both jump in a swimming pool at the same time, making big waves in some places and no waves in others. So, it's not just about going through one door or the other; it's about the waves making a dance on the wall together! That's the mysterious magic of the tiny fairy dust world!
Fucking smoothbrain.
