really nice explanation of the experiment by showing the waves and the interference. thanks. The physicists who speculate we are living in something like a hologram may be correct. We are all about the Light. Or more probably the Light in our universe is all about us.
Amazingly we only see a small portion of the visible light spectrum therefore we have a limited perception,with each color having a shorter or longer wave length. The eyes don't really see but act as a receiver for electromagnetic radiation (light) that is decoded in the brain where the image occurs. Ancient humans seemingly understood a lot about vibrations and energy that the modern physicists are now just beginning to take more seriously, ancient knowledge that's been forgotten or hidden from today's societies by accident or intentionally.
Yes it all happened by accident. Just the same as if a tornado hit a junk pile and out came a nice shiny new Boeing 747.
what does that mean then when a tornado hits a nice shiny new Boeing 747 and it comes out looking like a junk pile?
I suppose next you'll be telling us that some scientist from NASA says that the sky 'seems' blue on clear days.
I feel compelled to provide a comment here. Should any one go on beyond this cute video on the double slit experiment, and your curiosity leads you to a video of Tom Campbell's description of the double slit experiments, and his unconventional ideas on virtual reality, be warned. Caveat Emptor.
Cambell quoted this to end the video I just saw. Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.

Which is similar to what I wrote earlier... recent work by some top physicists suggest that our universe can best be explained by saying we are living in a holographic projection. We are bathed in light. There are even some scientists who say that everything we live in is digital. I suspect we are living in a projection of Light.
