Want to change something in the past?

"This experiment is fundamental to all of modern physics. Feynman, Nobel prize winner in physics, has stated that no physicist understands this experiment, and that it cannot be explained by any classical means.

<>

This is the explanation of the two-slit experiment, which ... according also to Dr. Feynman, contains the total mystery of quantum mechanics and the only mystery of quantum mechanics."

I have always been fascinated by this, and came across what looked like a good explanation (still don't understand it, but can't resist trying)
