📖 Read the story
Everything in our world is made of very small things. These are called particles. Think of them as tiny building blocks. Scientists use quantum physics to study them. This kind of science is very strange but interesting. Usually, people think particles are like small balls. But sometimes, they move like waves in the sea. This is called duality. It means one thing can act in two different ways. Scientists did a special test with two small holes. They sent particles through these holes. The particles did not hit the wall in two simple lines. Instead, they made many bright stripes. This happened because the particles moved like waves and mixed together. This shows us a big secret. Very small things can be both balls and waves at the same time. It is difficult to understand, but it is true! Would you like to study these tiny secrets one day?
