It's called The Double-Slit Experiment, and somone did eventually work out how to measure how many photons were going through each slit without interfering with the waveform, and as it turned out the correct answer was still 'both'.

I believe the parallel universe part comes in when you have more than 2 slits.  Then all of a sudden you start getting theoretically impossible interference.

Nah, all that happens then is the photon passes through all of the slits at once.

Meh, all of this is beyond me, this is interesting, I am going to borrow a book on this....

However there is more to be pulled from the double slit experiment than just particle-wave duality, there is more to be explored here.

Not really; that's basically what the experiment proves. Particle-wave duality.

Now there's alot to be pulled from particle-wave duality, but the double slit experiment serves to prove that particle-wave duality exists.


That's what experiments do; they either verify or falsify a theory, in this case, the theory is particle-wave duality.

I want to send myself an email in 500 years asking if the world is still there.

I just did one for 21 years.  I asked myself if there were time machines yet, and if there were to come pick me up and we'll go on time adventures.  So far I haven't showed up, so either I don't use that email anymore, time machines haven't been invented, or I'm a huge jerk.

Actually, there are plenty of other options you're neglecting.  In 21 years you could be unable to access your email and/or a time machine for any number of reasons including but not restricted to prison, death, or a three hour tour.

Whatever, I don't even want to go on time adventures.

It felt a bit like a movie in which two stoners try to steal a military helicopter

Maybe you can send atoms through, but there's no way of reassembling them at the other end XD

Maybe everyone in the future just thinks we are boring.

From this thread, I learned that video cameras have a dangerosity of 60 kiloswords per second.  Thanks again, Mad Max.

Well maybe they all turn into human teenage Jonas Brothers fans upon arrival, due to quantum.

It would explain so much.
