a stream of electrons was fired through two tiny slits.towards a detector.
一束電子穿過兩道裂縫 往一組偵測器射出
common sense tells us the electrons should hit the detector.
根據常識 電子射中偵測器的區域
in this two highlighted areas right behind the slits.
應該是裂縫正后方的兩條明亮區塊
But that's not what happened.
但實則不然
Instead,the detector picked up a pattern of not just two lines.but many.
相反地 偵測器不只有測得兩條線 而是很多條
This is simply not what anyone expected electrons or any small lumps of matter to do.
這實在迥異于大家對電子 或任何微小粒子的預期
The tiny electrons appeared to be define the laws of physics.
微小的電子似乎違反了物理定律
To get your head around just how weird this really is.
為了讓大家了解這到底有多怪
Let me scale up the electrons to something a bit more familiar.
我們把電子換成較熟悉的東西
like a soccer ball.This striker is about to take a free kick.
好比足球 這名前鋒準備罰踢任意球
Obviously,he'll do his best to hit the ball,pass the defensive wall and the goalie,and into the net.
他當然會盡力讓球越過人墻和守門員而破網
And they will do their best to stop that from happen.
而對方則會盡力不讓他如愿
So far it all make sense.
目前為止一切合理
But apply the rules of the subatomic or quantum world.
但若應用亞原子 也就是量子規則
and things work differently.
萬物的作用原理就不相同
And that's why physicists started to get very worry.
也正因如此 物理學家開始非常擔憂
