I continue to mine the AT&T video archive. Here's a really wonderful 1961 film showing how particles really are waves also. The simplicity of the gear that the Bell Labs folks used to demonstrate this is really admirable. I would love to see the preceding film (the one that shows how light waves are really also particles).
