Newly Tweaked Double Slit Experiment Designed for Time
Based on the original, scientists have found a way to apply the experiment to time rather than space
Ya know, I gotta applaud our ingenuity as a species. When we devote ourselves to a problem or mystery, there’s no stopping us — even if it takes decades or centuries to solve. And so rarely are we completely satisfied with the answer. One field that perfectly shows this is Science. No matter what we discover, we yearn to learn more, understand, and push beyond our limits and any obstacles in our path.
The double-slit experiment is a great example of this. It first appeared over a century ago and showed the world that light is made of both particles and waves. Since then, scientists have tweaked, expanded, and played with the experiment discovering enlightening (ha!) things along the way. But now, scientists have taken things to the next level by applying it to time rather than space.
Double Slit Experiment 1.0
Okay, so you’re probably already familiar with the original double-slit experiment, but we’re going to recap it anyway to help us better understand the most recent, upgraded version.
Thomas Young did the first double-split experiment performance in the early…
