Quantum Physics for Dummies - Is Electron a Wave or a Particle?

Quantum physics for dummies: what are electrons?
Everyone knows electron are particles. But are they, really? Quantum Physics is not so straightforward. Particles can sometimes behave like waves. So, is electron actually a wave? Technically, not either.

A simple experiment, called the double slit experiment first proposed by Thomas Young, proves that electron can sometimes behave like a wave. But, what is it that is waving? There is something that controls the electron. It is called wavefunction. But, we cannot see it. It's hidden from our perception and we can only see its' effects. Sometimes.

Next videos will cover more quantum weirdness. Turns out, quantum particles can be kind of influenced from the past.
