Building Young's Double-Slit Interference Experiment?
TucsonTed asks: "I am a student teacher, preapring for life as a middle or high school teacher. I'd like to build a working model of Young's Double-Slit experiment to show light's wave behavior. Anyone have info on where I can find some blueprints (size of slits, spacing, etc.?) I don't yet have access to a real lab, so I need the DIY approach. I can use monochromatic light or a laser. If you haven't come across this experiment, and its freakish implications at the quantum level, take a look. You may not sleep tonight."

No doubt we'll see more of these deals as napster becomes less relevant and decentralized networks grow in popularity. -
