Wave Particle Duality

Thomas Young (1773 - 1829)

Smashing bloke






Amongst other people






Helped to establish





That light could be a WAVE!!!

As well as a particle

In his paper 

'Experiments and Calculations Relative to Physical Optics' 

He managed to demonstrate 

That 

The centuries old view 

Propounded 

Propounded Is 

Such a lovely word

Pretentious

But lovely

By amongst others 

The Inestimable

tHE INDUCiTABlous






Isaac Newton 

Who suggested






That light was a particle. 

SO DID ARISTOTLE!!!







Mr. Young's experiment not only 

Proved that light could also be a wave

But sowed the seeds that led to 

Quantum Physics.

The experiment 

Also called 

The Young's double-slit interferometer 

Was deceptively simple.

It involved 

Shining a light 

At a double slit. 

Deceptive?

Simple?

I think not!!!

For a start

The slits 

Didn't form until 1976!!!

So he had to wait 

173 years 

To perform the experiment

Especially

As by this time

He was dead

And even more problematic

-ally






They were

PUNKS!!!

So quite hard to organise

And boss about

As they were into anarchy 

And Anti-Establishment

-arisim






And would have low standards of personal hygiene

As well.

Mind you he only had to deal with two of them.

What with






Line up






Changes







And everything






Can only be a good thing.






On the other hand

Just imagine how much easier

It would have been 

If it had been two ex-contestants

Of the X-Factor say?

Or






T.O.W.E.L.






The Only Way is Existential






Cunts!!!






Sorry






That's T.O.W.E.C.






They would be






Much more amenable

Ask a runner up of T.O.W.E.C 

Contest

To take part in the double-slit interferometer 

EXPERIMENT!!!

And by the way

Can I shit in your mouth.

"No problem."

They would say

"Just say when."

Would be their snappy,

But pathetic rejoinder.

PUNKS!!!

On the other hand.

That must have been quite hard to arrange.

Especially with the gap 

Of 173 years to contend with.

Must have been quite hard.

If he had even got his time travel calculations

Wrong by 6 years

I.E.

1982

Say.

When they split up 

He would have to wait 

Another 23 years

For them to reform.

Well I can tell you.

The logistics of carrying out

THE DOUBLE-SLIT INTERFEROMETER EXPERIMENT!!!

Doesn't even bear thinking about.

Mind you.

Wham!!!

George Michael

And

Andrew Ridgley

Would have been available.

In 1982.

And as it stands

The 

Thomas Young Guns (Go For It!) Interference 

Experiment!!!

Has a nice shaggy dog story ring to it.

Good Night!!! And God Bless!!!
