Central Mystery of Quantum Mechanics

The central mystery of Quantum Mechanics comes from the results of the double slit experiment. Scientists conclude that light is both a wave and a particle. This is called Wave/Particle Duality and it is difficult to explain. How can light be both at the same time? Jim Al-Kalili released an excellent video explaing the double slit experiment and its problems. [1]] This paper uses the Particle Model to explain each part of the experiment.
