Double Slit Experiment Explained -What if reality only exists when we look at it? The double slit experiment, first shown by Thomas Young and later tested by scientists with electrons, suggests something far stranger than we imagine. According to studies, observation itself changes the outcome. Does this mean the universe is built like a simulation? Or is there a deeper truth hidden in the fabric of physics? | The Brain Maze

Jim Al-Khalili explains the experiment that reveals the "central mystery of quantum mechanics": the double slit experiment. Sometimes called the "two-slit" or "Young's" experiment, it demonstrates that matter and energy can display the characteristics of both waves and particles, establishing the principle known as wave-particle duality. Furthermore, it questions the role of the observer in the outcome of events and demonstrates the fundamental limitation of an observer to predict experimental r
