  • God I fucking hate this comment. Yes the poster could have just googled it. But you know what? I had never thought about what’s in those towers. So I clicked on the topic to come to the comments and learn something. Instead I find your snarky worthless comment that contributes even less than the OP. Asking questions on here is a way to share curiosity and foster discussion. And lemmy needs more content, not less. So I hope no one takes your comment to heart.







  • A well known physics experiment that shows light is both a particle and a wave.

    If you fire a laser at a piece of paper with two slits cut in it, you would expect the laser to show up as two lines on the other side, but it ends up displaying a much more complex pattern because the photons bounce off each other like ripples in a pond.

    The freaky part is if the experiment is repeated by firing only one photon at a time, it still produces the interference pattern.
