It seems that light works in the same way.
voice-verified
Perhaps something pinches the beginnings and the end of the path light travels down, although what this might be and what mechanisms drive it are unknown as of now.
voice-verified
Fundamentally though, perhaps the craziest thing about all of this is that this isn't just about light.
voice-verified
Although we focused on light behaving like a wave and behaving probabilistically, all particles of matter do the same.
voice-verified
Light is just another form of energy, and energy and matter are linked.
voice-verified
Particles of matter, atoms and even complex molecules have been shown to have wavelengths.
voice-verified
Electrons are just as quantifiable and just as driven by probabilities as photons are.
voice-verified
We are apparently all driven by probability if you scale things down small enough.
voice-verified
So, what is everything truly made of?
voice-verified
What makes up energy and matter that causes it to behave in the way it does?
voice-verified
What is going on under the hood of reality?
voice-verified
Why is the universe behaving different when looked at compared to when not?
voice-verified
And what does it imply to think that even you are on some level probabilistic?
voice-verified
What this all means is anyone's guess.
voice-verified
The person who figures it out will be the Einstein of our time.
voice-verified
But for now, all we can say is that when it comes to reality, it seems the universe is playing dice.
voice-verified
You and the world around you might be a lot less certain than you might have thought.
voice-verified
Have a look around you.
voice-verified
Everything you see, from the skin of your hands to the screen you're watching this video on, is a different combination of the same three building blocks of matter.
voice-verified
Protons, neutrons and electrons.
