Ora G. Walters 🏳️⚧️@DrewNaylor Can someone explain this?
@ora @DrewNaylor it's based on the double slit experiment
pretty much it's because photons are fucky and are both waves and particles at the same time
but, they cannot be observed as both at the same time
waves diffract (as shown on the bottom), particles do not
it's confusing, but so is.. the entire field of quantum physics

this may also aid your understanding
