Double slit experiment

That Morgan Freeman show on Discovery, "Through the Wormhole" I think it's called pseudo-explained how this happens but only so far as that we're living in a simulation or something to that effect. Only explanation I've ever heard though that made any sense, I'll try to track the clip down.
i got pretty tripped out when i saw that video too:

yeah I've performed this experiment with light (laser and microwave) and electrons, it's interesting. Current accepted theory is the superposition one, meaning the particle ends up existing in a state in which it passes through both slits simultaneously, neither slit at all, and either/or.
It also gives rise to the basics quantum computing, since qubits can exist in states of
|00> = 0
|01> = No binary equivalent, a superposition of the zero and one states
|10> = No binary equivalent, a superposition of the zero and one states but a different state than 01.
|11> = 1
There also may be variations of each superposition based on the position of the superposition (derp) on the Bloch sphere, which exists in an n-dimensional Hilbert space.
This also ties in with entanglement too. The Psi-angle of the Bloch sphere is defined pretty simply using a quantum variation of Euler's rule

I think your talking about this.
It's not a vid but the actual paper
Are you living in a computer simulation
Yeah this is some trippy shit. Especially when you take into account the fact that the world is pixelated.
knew I'd get a few, but I'm surprised I got you. Looking to lose weight or make some xtra cash?
PM me I'll hook you up!

But why do they behave Differently when they're being observed?
Wave function collapsing - the current theory is that the quantum system interacts and entangles with the wavefunction of the measuring apparatus, causing the original wavefunction being measured to not exist anymore, it becomes a system with the observer. So, the original wavefunction collapses.
This is my understanding from when I looked into this experiment a few months ago.
In the experiment it's given that a single photon of light is like a bullet, but this is not the case. Light travels in waves, so the waves travel through both holes.

light is both a wave and a particle - and all particles have wave characteristics as demonstrated by deBroglie's theorem. The larger the matter, the smaller the wavelength.
The wave properties are why light does it (in part), but not electrons fully.
