I can barley scrape enough undergrads together to get them to teach quantum next fall so I can graduate. 100 people to take this class so amazing.

But what explains how the photons *know* the other slit is open, there aren't loads of waves if 1 photom... How does it work? Sorry if this is coming up as I keep watching lol I understand why there are minima of a double slit experiment – using huygens theory etc…

Stick at it and never stop asking questions about the world around you. You will end up with an educated mind, a great job and have loads of fun along the way. @coolguy6075.
