I have two box full of them with great movies and kids movies. And we still use them. They fill up the shelfs in the living room and makes the place look good

I read a book by Brian Greene about all this sort of stuff, it was really interesting (if a bit hard going).
They talked about this thing where is the moon there if no one is looking at it, and it was all based on probability waves for particles, not really for large bodies like the moon.
I look forward to seeing the rest of this.

Use a laser pointer inside a shoe box with a hole at one end of the box covered with foil. Pierce the foil with 2 tiny holes with a needle no more than 1mm apart. Place the laser in the shoe box and shoot the laser through the 2 holes in a darkened room with the box about 3m from the wall. There you go, your first quantum mechanics experiment!

It's still quantum physics as it shows that photons act like particles and like waves (wave-particle duality). A single photon will strike the wall at a particular place but as more photons strike the wall, they create an interference pattern (the multiple stripes of light) when the particles go through both slits in a wave like maner.

An absolutely mind blowing programme. It touched on a theory I always thought about. The laws of time and space and their physical manifestation on Earth are a distorted reality which only affect us on Earth. Time and space are a concept which may not exist as we know them out in the Universe. Time travel becomes a possibility and the ability to travel huge distances a distant reality.

watched this on catch up last night, thought I was doing quite well until it got about half an hour into it
Those particles of light that go through the slit differently if you look at them ? WTF ?
