When a laser hits graph paper and suddenly quantum physics becomes your personality! This is the classic wave-particle duality flexing its muscles in real life. The diffraction pattern shows light behaving like a wave—spreading out after passing through a narrow opening—rather than traveling in a straight line like a respectable particle should. Physics students spend four years and $100K in tuition to understand this phenomenon, only to show it off at parties where absolutely nobody is impressed.
