This is an experiment to prove the Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. Take two razor blades and pass a laser light and then close in the razor blades and observe the structure and shape of the light on the screen. You will see that once the razor blades are closed in enough and you have predicted the velocity, the shape and position changes. You can try this and please suggest me ways to refine this experiment.

Btw.what do you think about Einstein's photon box?

Slightly unrelated, but how did you guys learn about quantum mech? Was it part of your education at school? (I ask because as a student in U.S. we don't normally study it).

It's not taught in school. I actually learnt it from YouTube.

What got you interested in it to begin with?

I am self-taught. At first, I quite liked biology, chemistry and astronomy. From astronomy, I learned the theory of relativity. And I found the theory of relativity interesting, so I tried to see if its counterpart, quantum mechanics, was better?

That's nice to hear. I am actually kind of getting into it thanks to your guys' discussions. I hope to do the same with you for artificial intelligence (be on lookout for it).

yeah,If I were allowed to be arrogant for once, I would confidently say that I am the closest to a prodigy in my school.

is that so?

yep,i'm just close.Because i'm not good short term memory.

How long have you been studying quantum mech? You and @spryzennuclwar are very knowledgeable in it, I have to give you credit for that.

I only studied it seriously for 1.5 year

I actually studied it from YouTube for 1 year approx and First what got me fascinated was General Relativity and when I heard that Niels Bohr dared to challenge Einstein, I decided to study quantum mechanics and found it really fascinating

Guys anyone perform this experiment especially RoopTeraMastana and Mich-47 can do it as they are scientists. So kindly try and share result here guys.
