Synopsis

How can matter behave both like a particle and a wave? Does a particle exist before we look at it or does the very act of looking bring it into reality? Many of science's greatest minds have grappled with these questions embodied by the simple yet elusive double-slit experiment.

With his extraordinary gift for making the complicated comprehensible, Anil Ananthaswamy travels around the world and through history, down to the smallest scales of physical reality that we can fathom to provide the clearest, most accessible explanation yet of the amazing world of quantum mechanics.
