A TED-Ed Animation Explaining That Everything in the Universe Acts as Both a Particle and a Wave

“Particles and waves: The central mystery of quantum mechanics” is a TED-Ed animation by physicist Chad Orzel that explains everything in the Universe behaves as both a particle and a wave and the history of that discovery. It ties in well with Orzel’s other recent TED-Ed animation about the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which Orzel says exists because everything acts as both a particle and a wave.
