Astrophysicists Try to Resolve the Wave-Particle Duality

Подробнее о видео

What’s going on with Wave-Particle Duality? Neil deGrasse Tyson and astrophysicist Charles Liu discuss this hard-to-grasp concept, key science around it like the de Broglie Realtion and the Double Slit Experiment, and why it’s not so intuitive to everyone. Plus, why didn’t the term “wavicle” catch on?
