This is very, very confusing.

Welcome to physics!

Yeah. I still can't get my head around how an electron in the double slit experiment can go through both slits at the same time and interfere with itself. I definately can't get my head around why observing it stops it from happening.

The best thing about physics is that I understand very little of it (outside of everything you could learn in high school and in A Brief History of Time) and it still manages to scare the Hell out of me. I can only iagine what sort of madness must come with greater understanding.
