Instructional Ideas
- Learn more about the pilot wave theory and why scientists no longer believe it to be true
- Invite a physics professor or researcher to speak to your class about current theories they are studying
Classroom Considerations
- In order to reduce the video to one minute, the concept is oversimplified and presents outdated information; video would fit as a study of how scientific knowledge changes better than as a video to help understand duality
- This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
- Provides closed captioning in 20 different languages
- Metaphors highlight the concept and explanation
Cons
- None
