Liquid Droplets May Help Unravel the Secrets of Quantum Mechanics

Strange as it may sound, bouncing liquid droplets are changing our ideas of what happens at subatomic levels. By studying their movement across pools of liquid, Prof. John Bush from MIT is discovering how these droplets can help us understand the tiny particles that make up everything in our universe. But how can small droplets tell us about what's going on at microscopic levels of matter? Don't tiny, quantum particles act differently than anything in classical mechanics? Maybe not.In 2005, Dr. ...
