The awkward side-eye monkey meme, but he’s standing in front of a screen with two horizontal slits with another screen behind it. In the top picture, when he’s looking away, you can see that the second screen has seven lines of dots (the impact points of a quantum particle like an electron). In the second image, where he’s looking at the screen, there are only two lines of dots. It’s referring to that quantum thing where particles seem to behave differently if they’re being observed. It tickled me hugely. I love that meme and this is proper WTF science.
This tickled me enormously.
