    You should review Michelson's Interferometer experiment that explains the split beam. It's a quatum mottling ( quantum Mechanics).

    If you watch "What the bleep: down the rabbit hole", there is a great explanation with visuals. Basically, the very act of observing and measuring the individual electrons changed the behavior of the electrons. Electrons behaved like a wave unmeasured, and then acted like a particle measured. You can look it up on YouTube or Google Video under What the Bleep.
