Fear The Electron T-Shirt (Double Slit Experiment)

Quantum Physics attempts to describe the point at which physics becomes philosophical. Einstein was more of a philosopher than a mathematician, and that's why he loved Quantum Physics. This shirt and the idea behind it marks that turning point: When technology fails to explain what philosophy might. Case in point, the beautiful image displayed on the shirt demonstrates in concise format one such unexplained mysteries - that when electrons are fired through two slits they form a particle pattern. But when you look away and don't see them go through it, they form a wave pattern. Hence, in observing the experiment closely, at the exact point when we can see why the electrons would become a wave rather than particles, they revert to behaving as particles again, as if they know they are being watched. Note that the phrase 'Fear the Electron' is printed below the neckline on the back of the shirt.
