the easiest one so far if you’ve done a bit of physics sometime in the last decade. The experiment that resulted in the above hand sketched pattern (they didn’t have MSPaint back in those days) effectively ended the biggest argument in physics at the time. As usual, once you’ve had a guess you can check out what the image means right about here, or there’s a YouTube explanation here.
